OPEN YOUR EYES (7D. “Look, bonehead!”) and ALL GUSSIED UP (21D. Dressed to the nines) lend a colloquial air to this Saturday crossword, and along with DARN IT (62A. “Aaargh!”), WANNABE (49A. Hanger-on), PSST (8D. Discreet call) and AHA (54A. “I knew it!), set this puzzle IN A SPIN (12D. Twirling), a DRONE (52D. Go on and on) on a RADIO SET (9D. Ham’s rig) PAGER (6D. Cell alternative) for a SAD SACK (13D. Born loser)!
