Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼A while back, there was a puzzle with the entry GO OK, which was parsed by some — including me — as a racial slur, or at least an unfortunate thing to have to fill into a puzzle, especially if you happened to be Asian-American. In this puzzle, the entry GOBBLEDYGOOK, might kick up similar feelings, but the word itself is not etymologically related to the slur in any way. It was coined in the 1940s by the Texas politician Maury Maverick, who was not a big fan of jargon. In fact, Mr. Maverick was famous for opining that “anyone using the words ‘activation’ or ‘implementation’ will be shot.” At any rate, there is no evidence that the word GOBBLEDYGOOK was based on the racial slur.
