Hi Shane. Nice gridfill. A few spoilery comments here. Quite a few surplus words: e.g. 'about' in 5a, 'on a' in 10a, 'a' in 5d, 'an' in 14d A few where something isn't really a synonym of what you want it to be. 'does w/o consideration' is a verb phrase, so it doesn't define its adjective solution very well. Just 'without consideration' would've been better. 'promiscuity' doesn't mean 'ho', even if the words are related in meaning. 1d doesn't specifically mean '*much* more disgusting'
