        Me too, Ras. Every day.

        I think the OA is fun and funny.
        Hifalutin Nickname – The Duke of Earl!
        Found it quickly and stopped looking. Can I really be the only one to report it? And what’s with all the caviling from so many here? It’s an excellent word in common usage, I’ve used it for as long as I can remember, and if you type “hifal” into a search engine it goes right to “hifalutin definition”. So there, all you scoffers!

      I’m on the same boat with Richie…

      I found THUNK first after a while. I usually work with longer words first. I don’t know why I paused at THUNK even if it’s only 5 letters. Maybe because it took care of H-U-K. It’s usually hard to find coherence from 7 orphaned letters compared to 3 or 4. I said to myself maybe it’s a -MENT word. Then I tried -CENT. Ooooh, it’s MALEFICENT. And, it didn’t take long. It was so satisfying to get there.

      Maleficent thunk. Richie, I got maleficent quickly, then tried dozens of great words before retrying some and just tried thunk, didn’t think it a word, and then it’s the first words I see on posts. Naturally you, haha

      I had MALEFICENT-THUNK too, but it took a while. I liked near near-miss FLAUNT-THICKET (no M) and found lots of other words, then finally looked for something ending in CENT and got it quickly.

      LB beat me today. But I think the OA is VERY questionable.

      I got several 3- word solutions. My favorite is

      MATHEMATIC CLEF FLUNK

      The student failed both Arithmetic and Music.

      Magnificent!!
      Too many distracting unacceptable words presenting themselves this morning.
      I settled for Funk kilt thematic. I’m imagining all sorts of exciting tartans!

        I also used THEMATIC in a triple: FAT-THEMATIC-CLUNK. Some sort of sound effect, I imagine. Wonder if anyone gets the OA today?

    Accidentally clicked on here instead of the actual puzzle. Garbage OA without an apostrophe or a G at the end.

      But “HIFALUTING” isn’t a word. Nor is “HIGHFALUTING.” Nor is “FALUTING.”

      I think the word “hifalutin,” sort of like words like “tarnation,” comes from eye dialect and has itself become a word in the dictionary because it expresses a different meaning or a meaning with different effect from saying it non-dialectally or writing it in non-eye dialect would, like if I were to say, “That’s high fluting,” would that be taken to mean the same thing as my saying, “That’s hifallutin,” or even be understood at all and not sound like proper words that together only add up to nonsense?

    ANTIHUMANFLECK – my new favorite insult! 😂

    Anyone else notice all the opposites?

    THICK THIN
    AUTHENTIC FAKE
    UNCLE AUNT
    CHUNK FLECK
    ICE HEAT
    TINKLE CLUNK
    THIN FAT

    If this was Boggle, I’d have meself a hi scorin list of words (NOT hifalutin – WTH OA?). Couldn’t make any work for LB though.

    Kudos to those who maleficent(ly) thunk up a better solve!

      No, but I tried like heck! Also spent time on UNFAITHFUL, FUNICULATE, HUMECTANT, and MUNIFICENT (which finally led me to MALEFICENT THUNK).

    MULIFILAMENT — THICK/THICKEN

    Never saw HIFALUTIN because I had no idea it was spelled that way.

    Spent time with ELEMENTAL, CLIMATIC, MATHEMATIC, MATHEMATICIAN, MULTINUCLEATE, FEMININE, AUTHENTIC, UNAUTHENTIC, HEALTHFUL, UNHEALTHFUL, but the remaining letters just did not pair. I do like the days when I can get a dozen nice long words even if they aren’t part of a solve.

      Was hoping MUNIFICENT TALKETH* might work. Apparently SPEAKETH is the proper term.

      Tried THINKALIKE too which has a few hits. 🙂

      It seemed there would be many more answers but tired of it and put only one I found, but kudos to those who saw multifilament

    Thanks Simon..did anyone see funiculate? I looked it up and it exactly describes a tourist attraction at Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga Tn. I saw growing up and later took my kids

    Settled fairly quickly for MATHEMATIC – CLEF – FLUNK, just ‘cos I wanted something with FLUNK and MATHEMATIC. Seeing the OA, I’m glad I didn’t waste any more time on it.

    MALEFICENT – THUNK.

    Between HIFALUTIN and NASTYGRAM the other day, I’m starting to wonder if Ezersky is doing alright… 🤦‍♂️

      I think he’s just playing with our heads. But I liked today’s OA, so to that extent he has failed.
