Bloody NYT Connections and the woman who makes them up!
What absolute nonsense.

I understood congress but not commerce!

I’ve never heard of it, but then I’m not particularly au fait with Americanisms!

I did think the same about those answers!
Although having a spoiler alert, after the spoiler in the title, does kinda make it pointless 😂

It's the New York Times. Frustrating as it can be (no, I didn't get "commerce", either), it's kind of up to them to use phrases and words from American culture.

This made me chuckle because I’ve just completed this puzzle and was like “eh!!?? I’ve never heard of it called that before” 😆
