    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 10/04/2020

    » Are you a covidiot or a covidient? You can probably guess the meaning of both portmanteaus. The former is used to describe people who disregard social distancing and other rules regarding the Covid-19 pandemic that have been put in place while the latter is the opposite and comprises of "Covid-19" and "obedient". Hope you're all the latter.

    Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 29/11/2019

As an aside, when it comes to the search giants like Google or Yahoo and social media sites like Facebook, they all have their biases so the results you see may not be all that comprehensive, balanced or accurate.

The English-style cryptic on Saturdays is quite different to the American-style, two of which appear on Sunday. I think the description of "easy" for the smaller of the two Sunday offerings is flippant at best.

    » There seems to be a baby boom on Facebook at the moment. The younger generation of adults are cooing goo-goo ga-ga over their little bundles of pink and wrinkled Mini Mes.
