Sextet, Sextuplet etc

I realise that Mamya- I'm just saying I wouldn't have thought of sex being used to represent six in a crossword

[Mamyalynne]

I understand you.

Dean Mayer can be a bit dodgy in my opinion.

[mercedita]

Thanks, people. I understand most of them, but GO POSTAL? how did you get that, please?

op=work
go=progress
stal(l)=put off

Progress- GO
Work - OP

'Go Postal' is to lose it big time
