Breaking? Bad? 2 electric boogaloo? My heart?

Nope, just breaking. Invented in America but called that officially across the world, so not really an Americanism.

[close]

Another thing that annoys me is how they put words in the grid if they can be combined to make a word or phrase when read from left to right, even if they're not related to each other. Today has RECORD and BREAKING, recently there was POP and EYE and COOKD and BOMBD

Yeah, that's a bit annoying.

a bit rich to group it with "Olympic sports" when it sounds like it's having its debut as an Olympic sport later this year in Paris. I don't follow the Olympics hugely and twigged that "SKELETON" might refer to bob, and I would have twigged, say, KEIRIN given that it's a weird word I know has been involved in past Olympics. I might be wrong and it's more widely known, but a yet-to-be-debuted Olympic sport seems like a reach.

Annoyingly, since my agonizing defeat this morning, my earworm for today has been 'I am a Pirate King'^*.
It's as if my brain is cruelly mocking itself, reminding me that I did know that word after all.

^*If you found yourself mentally correcting my lazy reference to the proper title, 'Oh, Better Far to Live and Die', you score 5 points.

I'd heard of the comic 'Sally Forth', but I always assumed it was a pun on the phrase "rally forth", which I'm now discovering isn't even really a phrase. "Rally Forth" is an action you can make Sims do in the Sims 2 expansion pack The Sims 2: Open for Business, and I just assumed it was a thing outside of that, but it doesn't seem to be in general usage at all? Maybe I had this completely backwards and The Sims 2: Open for Business was in fact punning on the phrase "sally forth". Reeling. I need to lie down
