Fantastic word game

Caffeine, nicotine, (and sometimes "green") are usually consumed by people in radio.
 
People in radio have also been known to "make it snow" behind the privacy of a locked studio door,  Ed.

Hope this brings a little excitement back to our distinguished linguistic guru's world. Hey, partner. We've turned to drugs at the Fantastic Word Game. (FWG, for those of us not sparking up the devil's lettuce...or, heaven help us, something worse.)
 
Ed and rosecitymedia have completely shattered my naive illusions of the clean cut disc jockey who makes the magic come from the speakers to bring sparkle to the parties, lives, homes, cars and offices of otherwise drab work a day world settings.
 
Drab work a day world settings might possibly need to include hyphens between 'work' and 'a' and also between 'a' and 'day' but I guess we'll never know because our linguistics guy is apparently taking a powder from the game.

Well I hope CT comes back at some point but, for now, it sounds like he's leaving. If he isn't back in a week, we'll suspend his Linguistics Czar privileges until further notice or perhaps appoint someone else to replace him.
 
Taking a powder from the game is nothing like the gas pipe the game czar would take if a hyphen appeared in a sentence, which would be the same as slipping in a 70s song that didn't make it to the playlist at the 80s rockfest, pretending to be something or somebody that someone was nothing like.
 
Be serious, WMC, since there really is no replacement for the Linguistics Czar if he were to actually follow through on his threat.

Sorry to tell you, Silkie, but the "Good Guys" days are long gone.
 
Properly fitting jeans, according to legendary country music star Conway Twitty, are tight.
 
"Tight" has been used to describe the work of a board-op who doesn't leave any dead air between records.

As in "this guy runs a tight board."
 
Dead air between records would sometimes happen in the days before studio automation because the jock had left the studio to have a smoke, take a bathroom break, or both.
 
The jock had left the studio to have a smoke, take a bathroom break, or both, and, because he was working at a country station where all the songs were 3 minutes or less, he didn't have "American Pie" or "Stairway to Heaven" available.
 
Available cryptics options to override good and right are getting slimmer and more difficult to locate, thankfully.
