Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼This is one of a crossing pair of Mr. Ezersky’s “Departure announcements”: ALL ABOARD, which I stumbled on but is truly ubiquitous in train travel (and probably boats, although I’m not on the water that often). The admonishment here goes back to 1829 and is a phrase that works when spoken in French too, “Allez bord,” so the etymology may stem from l’autre side of the pond. (The twin at 52A is SO LONG, the origins of which I’ve never really thought of much but turns out to have a fascinating array of possible cousins in the world.)
