Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼I thought this clue — “Mr. or Mrs. Right?” — was clever, but a bit cruel, as any hopes for a romantic bon mot were wanton; the answer is GOPER, meaning one in the Grand Ol’ Party, man or woman. The entry has been a word since 1951. Researching the origin of the term led me to an event I’d never known about, the New York Zoo Escape of 1874, a newspaper hoax that quite possibly inspired Thomas Nast to create the elephant and donkey’s symbolic roles in politics today.
