I don't get Chilling time's answer at all. My best guess is it being short for reindeer? But that doesn't really make sense either.

1:13. I didn't particularly get stuck on the spoiler, but didn't get it until I Googled it after. I don't mind it not telling me there are multiple words, but the "and" in phrases that normally use an ampersand are kind of evil.

16:54 for the regular with some Google help.

20:23 for the regular, and a really fun theme once I saw what was going on.

Part of my problem is that my head is stuck in the early 90s when it comes to crossword clues, not helped by going through the archives.

If I didn't just know it off the top of my head, something that is ferric or ferrous contains iron, and the Spanish word for "railroad" is "ferrocarril," in reference to iron tracks (although Spanish for iron is somewhat confusingly "hiero.")

Jack Sprat could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean.

You've never heard this one? It's pretty famous.

I'm from Chicago, so probably not.

My guess is, you did hear it at least a few times when you were a kid, but it didn't make enough of an impression for you to remember it today.
