Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼I finally remembered that IPOD “touches” were a thing at the very end of this solve. Misremembered, because iPod touches ARE a thing — they’re like iPhones without the phone, because who needs that noise? This is such a hard clue, making us transfer a verb to a noun to a tech product, and we get no help at 49D. I figured that to be “bonk” pretty early on, and not only have I never heard the term DONK before, but it also commonly refers to a customized Chevrolet from the 1970s, the act of giving someone a ride on the handles of a bicycle in Australia, and a type of bet placed in a poker game. That last one reminds me of something, which is that I thought that REPO was “redo,” which led my grid to briefly include “doker” rather than POKER PROS at 8D. Oh, and (of course) DONK is a debut.
