THEME: phrases beginning with FO and ending in G
GOOD ONES:
TITLE: "In a Fog" [without it I probably would have missed the theme]
It could be a plot ACRE
Half of 10? ZERO
Provide juice for PLUG-IN
Out on a limb TREED
It gets into a lather RAZOR
Class assignment SEAT
Sign of summer LEO [oldie but goodie]
Dash at the market? MRS [condiment company]
BTW:
Barely sufficient SCANT [The "problem" with Webster's is that it lists first the oldest form of the word. Today scant is used without the notion of sufficiency but merely for a small quantity.]
Out yonder AFAR [Where I live yonder is still quite often used!]
Stylish MOD [MOD is no longer stylish --- might have been the point]
Tack room gear HARNESS [Too bad the reference wasn't "He gives his ___ bells a shake," a national treasure. But we did get TOLSTOY, and there was a good mix of subject matter in this enjoyable puzzle.]
RATING: ;D ;D ;D
Three grins = Loved it; Two grins = Enjoyed it; One grin = A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Not much fun

Some of the phrases began with f and ended in og.
I took the "out" in out yonder to be part of the phrase meaning in the distance, rather than a passe form of yonder.

Don't you think "out yonder" is passe? ???
