Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼A lot of the entries that eluded me in this puzzle had a historical quality, not necessarily highbrow but of substantial lineage. I know that “Pie-eyed” means drunk. (Why? Perhaps from an 1880s printing term for a jumble of letters, perhaps from just a pie.) There’s an intoxicating array of great terms for drunk; OILED was not in my bailiwick. But fun enough, it’s one of about 200 terms in Benjamin Franklin’s “Drinker’s Dictionary.”
