Five theme answers, all beginning with go and finishing with an adjective. 17a. [Split a bill evenly with someone] GO HALFSIES. 39a. [Flip out] GO CRAZY. 62a.

MTV RAPS may now be an outdated pop-culture title, but doesn&#8217;t it look great in the grid? Note that YOM KIPPUR would have fit there, too.

The price, unfortunately, is some fill that feels distinctly un-Mondayish. We have familiar three-word phrases—mostly metaphorical—consisting of two body parts separated by a small connector word. 20a. [Fiercely] TOOTH AND NAIL. Does the phrase predate Tennyson&#8217;s &#8220;Nature, red in tooth and claw&#8221;? [...]]]></description>
