That SAHL/SUHWEET cross is such a galling bit of construction to me. You basically have to know how Mort Sahl's name is spelled (ie, knowing of him previously) to be able to get this clue, unless you somehow luck into the "correct" spelling of SUHWEET. Great video (as always), Chris!

Earbud is a generic name commonly used to describe in-ear headphones, e.g. Apple uses the proprietary name EarPods, Samsung uses Galaxy Buds, both are earbud style headphone.

I've really only heard "the Yips" in relation to golf and baseball. Usually the context involves an athlete with putt, swing, throw, etc. that they have performed thousands of times, but they suddenly can no longer perform well. For example, a golfer who has played hundreds of rounds of golf starts badly missing easy putts or an infielder no longer able to throw to first base in baseball.

Clever theme. I figured it out almost right away. A few tricky clues but otherwise easy.

In fetal development the primitive gut, a portion of the endoderm, eventually becomes the entire alimentary canal. It initially is patterned into three segments: the foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The foregut becomes everything from the mouth to the duodenum at the insertion of the bile duct. The midgut become the remainder of the duodenum, jejunum, and ilium, also called the small intestine. The hindgut extends from the colon to the anus.

From 61 A, The YIPS are often referred to in baseball, as well. It is essentially performance anxiety or what some call "choking"; just when the pressure is on, a well-practiced and straight forward action is stymied by overthinking. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppq7iYGqhdGfq8Usi=_Y2G2jRUO8Z5c4T4
