I get the pronunciation, it's hard to get your lips to transition from M to ST. But the spelling isn't in my OED. (I did protest at the time; I think they said it was in Collins.) I'm not interested in buying a range of dictionaries just so I can do a crossword, life's too short. Sudoku here I come!
In today’s codeword: “skort” and “kongs”? An obscure neologism and a trademark.
I doubt either has made into any reputable dictionary.
As someone said above this is “gibberish” indeed.
And completely unnecessary. The vowels were not used in other words so “skirt” and “kings” would have worked much more simply.
I have no objection to being wrong-footed. It increases the satisfaction of getting the solution. But the sleight
has to be elegant - not lazy gibberish.
