Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼The modern lingo for “Totally cute,” I believe, is actually “totes” ADORBS. Adorbs being a mangled shortening (or short mangling) of adorable. The expression dates back to at least 2014, which puts it in the millennial pantheon as far as I’m concerned. People are conditioned to like words like ADORBS because they are nearly always superimposed on photos of babies, of all species, and round eyes and chubby cheeks make us less miserable and bloodthirsty. This, in turn, opens our minds to neologisms. But you know all of this, it’s well-established science.
