Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼I really like these clues. I call them “Weingartens,” after the curmudgeonly columnist and editor Gene Weingarten of The Washington Post because he hates them, and I love needling him. A “lower?” is a COW. The reason it’s a COW is because the word “lower” can be pronounced with the long “O” sound, which mean “less high,” or it can be pronounced with the “ow” sound. COWs are said to “low” when they moo, so they are “lowers.”
