37, US er.

Thank you very much. Rusty too. Could not parse user although I had that. No confidence....

User is a right.
Country is United States (US)
"er" is often said whilst hesitating in speech, or "um".

Does anyone know what the last bit of the preamble means? "Solvers should highlight the normal answers where the phrase reportedly applies in a different way"

Read out aloud certain answers such as - cutie, piquet, see you - they have something in common with the theme.

I'm stuck on 10d, Flying ace is describing special lady CA?S?E

Cassie

Thanks, dja. I suppose it's an anagram of ACE, IS and S (special).

Yes flying is the indicator
