Meta Prompt
The meta is what 8 O'clock represents in this puzzle
This isn't so much a meta as a riddle. Riddle: What does 8 O'clock represent in this puzzle? Answer: That's the meta answer you have to provide.
This is different and weird but I hope it is fun.

    The clock theming threw me off! I guess the 8 o'clock reference was just to draw our attention to PUSH. Fun effect, though, moving all the grid entries! By the way, what was the intended grid entry for the lower right corner? FAST or FIRM (if 4 letters)? or SET?

      There was no intended answer for the lower right. It was meant to be ironic that the clue was about permanence and immovability yet it was simply shoved off the grid.

        Yes, that makes perfect sense. Nice one!

      Looked in the SE for a bit, but just couldn't see it. It was all the shift overs that threw me off! :) Cute & crafty!

        Very clever!!! I was all set to tell you your grid entries got "thrown off" by one. Then I finally back-solved 48A from the crosses and... doh!
