The long entries of this crossword usually and/or might not have an “ING” as a suffix to the first word of the phrase, or something like that -- SHOOT STARS (17A. Supermodels?); STOCK STUFFER (24A. One who fattens up cattle?); SERVE SUGGESTION (37A. Bit of advice from a tennis coach?); SWING SINGLES (47A. 45s from Count Basie and Benny Goodman?); SLIDE SCALE (59A. From gentle to steep for some playground equipment?). So?
Only one link today -- SISQO (49D. R&B singer with the hit “Thong Song”).
Oh, and then there's ING.
