Thanks all for the hints and thanks Rog for thinking of me. So obvious when you know you wonder how you couldn't see it straightaway.

Apologies for the delayed response. My ability to post on here is very limited today. When I hit add post it just doesn't go anywhere most times.

Assuming 1d is a double meaning, I can't find any reference to the first word (pretty sure I have the answer, perhaps a leftist).

Hi Amaturestick,

1d - I believe it's common among today's youth to use the 3 letter abbreviation to mean "excellent".

I assumed (without any evidence) it was "yoof speak" (like "wicked").

... plus Chambers does give the complete word as a slang term meaning "fine, excellent".

I'm sure you're right Chris, invariably preceded by "totally" as in 'that clue was totally ???' 😂

I believe that the young people used to abbreviate it to the first syllable (man).
