UNIFILAR*—RECHARGEABLE
☕
UNFLINCHING-GARBAGE
I think I like GANGBANGER better…
Same here
Unflinching Garble
Same here!
UNFLINCHING – GARBAGE was my answer too, but I’m undecided whether I like Gangbanger better.
Fubar Relaunching
Me too. Amazed FUBAR is accepted! 🤪
Same.
[ FUBAR ~ RELAUNCHING ]
also within 20 minutes.
I bet there are pairings with some of these too:
unfurling, refueling, branching, burgher
Same here!
Another Fubar Relaunching here. A perfect description for SpaceX. It tickled me so much I stopped looking. The OA is bland today by comparison. A shout out to those who found that Fingerable Eunuch.
Also had Funic Chargeable, which, however, made no sense at all.
FINGERABLE-EUNUCH and no way will I attempt a theme for this
That makes my risqué ones from the other day pure white! 😉
Good one.
😂
Ha!
This was my answer too, and I felt I was going to have to apologize for the TI, so thanks for taking the bullet on that one. 🙇♂️
Unflinching – Garble…
Defense lawyers, campaign speeches, bible, shoe, and nft salesmen; any direction you want to go with this one…
Same.
How nonsense becomes alternative truth.
Likewise.
Same. Excellent definitions!
Same.
Same. The fate of many political rallies.
REFURB – BLANCHING
Same!
Funic Chargeable
Funic seems a bit sus, but it was accepted.
Same here, PG: Funic was a surprise.
funic – chargeable as well
Fungic – chargeable
Same here
FUBAR – RELAUNCHING
TI: When the folks at NASA mess up reeeeally bad and need a do over!
I will say, I’m quite baffled at FUBAR being an acceptable word yet BRUNCHING is not!
Because I play with the Scrabble word list, today I had to pass up two accepted solutions, FUNIC† – CHARGEABLE and FINGERABLE† – EUNUCH, before settling on FUBAR – RELAUNCHING. Decent TI on the last one if one thinks of the early space program. Excellent TI on the second (but parental discretion advised).
BARFER RELAUNCHING
Well, the TI just writes itself, doesn’t it?
Word Play:
7-Letters:
e_ _m_ _e
hint: reference
Example
Example?
EXAMPLE, but it made me hungry for EDAMAME along the way.
Hi, RICKY,
You got it! Good job!
EXAMPLE, indeed!
👍🤓

JIG
ENS
LOU
RQH
CLUE: He is giving up the name of his father.
JUNIOR-RELINQHISHING?
Oops. should be JUNIOR-RELINQUISHING
Hi, Stephie,
You got the OA! Brilliant!
JUNIOR – RELINQUISHING, indeed!
👍🤓
☢️🌹
Hunger refinanceable
Tried for a while to pair UNCHANGEABLE and UNCHANGING since they were so juicy. Discovered FICHU was a word in the process, but finally settle for UNFLINCHING – GARBAGE which seems ripe for TI, but I’ll refrain
REFURB-BLANCHING
Now I can turn my attention to less important things for the rest of the day… like working on income taxes.
BRANCHLINE – ENFLEURAGE
(not very efficient)
Making perfume on a train is the best I can come up with.
I think it’s tres belle 💐
(This belongs with Nonnie’s post)
Wow, I love this!
I also found hunger – refinancing
Meta: Today’s puzzle was perfectly addictive. It was very clear that many two-word solutions would involve common endings (e.g., -able, -er, or -ing), but those solutions were (for me) hard to find. I spent 1.5 hours on the puzzle today. 3X my normal limit. Thank goodness today is a Sunday.
Very upset that I couldn’t use BARFBAG
Thought I had it with
FINGER RELAUNCHABLE
“The Bird is the Word”
But alas, SpaceX notwithstanding, that was denied.
Settled for
RELAUNCH – HALFLING – GAB
Say it again, Sam.
For those who want an extra challenge …

EXPEL the XENOPHOBE
Aleph (from ‘oxen’), a pause:
This playlet is a paradox of petulant apathy
Or even a heathen’s apoplexy,
Dreams of Babylon, no less.
Of all the phyla, only mammals
(hyena, lynx)
can accurately tabulate the exponent of his power.
So practice telepathy, through
An aunt’s teabox, onyx telephone, abalone bathtub:
wise like Athena to the bone.
If you loath the extant, yelp!
Nextly,
expel the xenophobe, exultantly.
Replace the bayonet of war, baton of power,
with a xylophone of hope.

Lovely, Jill!
Nice poem Jill! I like the ways of the lynx. The reintroduction project for the lynx was successful here (CO). They’re now starting up with the wolverine, another native, but extirpated species. Both thrive in high altitudes.
An UNCRITICAL LYNX made an LB appearance on June 17, 2022.
I will be keeping an eye out for the WOLVERINE!
UNFLINCHING / GARBLE
I think it’s tres belle 💐
OA and
UNFLINCHING GARBLE
BLANCHER* REFUELING
Finer – Rechargeable
Unflinching Garble
Took awhile but finally got UNFLINCHING GARBAGE. Lots of good answers here!
I can’t bring myself to share the solution I had accepted – it was just too yuck
Ooop, see it now – I got what Steap said
Need to go and wash my keyboard now
Steph sorry *
For a dystrumpian future try some UNFLINCHING GARBLE
