    I took the hint the wrong way and convinced myself this was DEAD JACKIE
    I had a very enthusiastic start with DEAD which became SHED and was losing hope but when I finally got ICED I felt renewed.
    Of course JACKIE wasn’t a valid word and at this point I realised it was coffee and not a yellowjackets reference lol

    I am not this gay, but my partner is–this victory is dedicated to them and their cold, damp hands <3

    As someone who has spent all winter ordering shaken espressos, I feel this very deeply.

  6. Hah! I did not get the clue, but did manage to figure out the first word nonetheless, through clever trickses. Then once I had the first word, the second word was clear to me.
