 :)
Dey job?   LALAW
Shower in public?   RAIN
Six-pack abs?   BEERBELLY [always wanted them --- now I see I’ve had them all along]
Theme: clue lacks initial number, which if added, leads to the answer
questions   FUNGUESSINGGAME [“Twenty” was subtracted from the clue]
ers   FOOTBALLPLAYERS [“49-“ was subtracted]

 >:(
Phils, e.g.   NLERS [along with ACERS are crosswordese at its worsty --- how does that grab you?]

Clues were challenging and the theme original --- and also tough.
