Have you ever, even once, come across a puzzle where the answer to "male deer" is "buck"? The clue occurs in approximately 70% of all puzzles, and the answer is always "stag".

Worst one I ever ran into was, "long green vegetable".
The answer? Well, "okra"! Of course!
EXCEPT....!
This bunch of jerks had the "crossword" with a "c" in the "k" position.
Sure enough, in the answer in the next days "Solution", they had proudly spelled "o-k-r-a" with a "c"! "OCRA"!
