rxwine,

I'm surprised to learn that...

carpe

... is an acceptable English word.

Truth is, I tried the fish with an "e" and it worked.


carpe diem is a popular expression imo, though

Complicating the connections game is that I think Mary Jane is both a type of shoe and marijuana. I've never heard of a shoe called a "slide," nor marijuana referred to as "herb."

Kudos, to the NYT for going with the marijuana group. I'd say they will get complaints, but the type of people who would complain probably already left them.

I think the shoe called a slide they are referring to is where you slide your foot in to it. The shoe has no back part so you slide your foot in and out

I'm still getting the hang of Connections. What threw me off was that "slight" is also a term an insult. When I get complaints about insults here, the word "slight" is often used in the argument pressing charges. Also a "camper" is certainly something associated with camping. However, I guess it would be too easy if there weren't words that fit two categories.
