How do you explain the "Cyberchuckles" theme in the NY Times crossword
puzzle for Sunday, 1/23/05?

larr4678 --

The titles of the NYT Sunday puzzles always relate to many of the
longer answers in the puzzle grid.  In this week's puzzle. these
answers are all three-word phrases. The first letters of each of the
words in these phrases are "L" "O" and "L", as in "lady of leisure"
(24 across).  As every child and teenager knows instantly, "LOL" means
"laughing out loud" in "cyberspeak."  Hence the title "Cyberchuckles."


Search Strategy:

Not being a child or a teenager (by a long shot), I stared at my copy
of the completed puzzle until the answer came to me.

I am confident that this is the correct answer, but if anything is
unclear, please ask for clarification before rating it.

I had never heard of LOL (laughing out loud). Amazing!!
