Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼Some slang, written down, looks wrong to me even when it’s right. It doesn’t have to be modern (copacetic is a personal example and that’s old), but the word clued here by “Yay!” enters in the grid as WOOT and looks weird. I think the origin here is old-school texting and the word might have looked more charming with a combination of o’s and zeros, wo0t, looking a bit like Bill the Cat, who might also not really be modern anymore. In related news, there’s also a YOLO sighting in this grid, appropriately clued.
