Myops

[davey b]

Crazy as Trump's first showing in Big Apple N?T?Y (It looks like NUTTY but can anybody please parse it?)

[Buenchico]

The Big Apple = New York = N...Y

. . . if that helps!

[JimF]

Nasty
NY = Big Apple (New York)
T = Trump's first (letter)

[Toorak]

Nasty

As t(rump) inside NY ?

[Calibax]

Ut (Latin for as) + T(rump) in NY

[Toorak]

Nice one calibax :-)

[davey b]

Well done calibax

[JimF]

'ut' doesn't mean 'as' in Latin. It means 'so that' or 'in order to'.

[Mamyalynne]

The different ways in which 'Ut' can be used is discussed here.

[Neveracrossword]

JimF, Chambers dictionary - standard reference for many crosswords - gives 'ut adverb and conjunction, as'. It appears in usages such as 'ut supra', as above, and 'ut infra', as below. I thought it was a very good solve by Calibax!

[Mamyalynne]

An excellent solve, I am still struggling with English.

[Toorak]

:-)) me too!

[Neveracrossword]

It was one of those occasions where you think, 'I wish I had seen that'!

[shoota]

It also means shed in the West Riding.

[Toorak]

I thought that ‘nasty’ was too obvious a parse for myops but my Latin is virtually non-existent - only did it for a year at school (and that was a long time ago!)

[Calibax]

Ut Supra. :o)

[Toorak]

:-)))
