I had “Story” for STORM, “ESP” for ASL, “cut out” for RESECT, “Marist” for VASSAR, “hyped” for AMPED — many, many misdirects, Mr. Trudeau, to my DETRIMENT. 50A: Shameless plug, but Jersey, one of the ISLES of the English Channel, is the site of an amazing zoo created by Gerald Durrell in 1959. I just learned that you can “glamp” there, something I hereby resolve to do in 2019 and report back on forthwith. We’ve had the entry before, singular and plural, clued like “many a sitcom mom” or “housewife” (or “builder,” in history’s defense, but still not quite right). “Homewreckers” has appeared exactly once, clued as “women who go after other women’s men,” but this was all the way back in the Dark Ages of, um, 1999.
