    Thanks Jake, a fun solve!
    I don't know if 'fluffy' is a word I'd use for 1d personally, but that's just me. Not sure about 1a containing 'flying'.
    Enjoyed 3d, which took me most of the solve time!

      Another great puzzle Jake! Would you mind explaining the clues in the comments, honestly still can't understand the clue for HAYWIRE. Thanks!

        not Jake, but I think Spooner's refers to William Spooner, namesake of the term "spoonerism" (a speaking mistake in which two sounds are swapped). HAYWIRE is a spoonerism of "way higher", a synonym for "far more stoned".

        I stupidly put in COP PORN for 1D, despite the enumeration not fitting, and that slowed me down a bit. Love to see bookending Spoonerisms, though, especially since they were both clued differently.
        5A made me laugh at ["Woke Tapir" insiders], very good, and 4A was my favorite with that definition of [a common bank form]. I also thought [articulated joints] was cute in 7A, and the [dropping E] in 2D. I had fun!
