I think you have to add 'Super trouper' (song by ABBA)

The ABBA song 'Super Trouper' is a stage artist or performer, usually long experienced, whereas 'Trooper' is usually a mounted policeman in US.

Actually the song refers to a make of stage spotlight (hence "super trouper beams are gonna blind me").

As a young nerd, I noticed allegedly top notch newspapers using "a real trooper" vs trouper.

A friend who got straight A's as a MechE once added "for all intensive purposes" to a paper's title, vs (the clichéd)"...intents and purposes".

The former is lightly acceptable. If I could afford to go s.r. mad, vexing ish like this would be on looong list of causes.

If people wrote "intensive porpoises", word.

Do it.

Yeah it took me a second, too. I think Hyde is suggesting that the clue for supersonic would be easier to guess if it referenced the Seattle SuperSonics, a defunct basketball franchise that became the Oklahoma City Thunder over a decade ago, rather than "faster than sound". Personally I disagree, I feel the current clue is perfectly clear, and easier to guess than the proposed change would be. I'm not big on sports, though.

American basketball teams are not known as widely as 'faster than sound'.

No it wouldn't have, because no one outside of America has heard of the Seattle Supersonics.

Seriously though, 85% of people got it, and I'd be surprised if more than 40% got it with your proposed clue. Litteraly only americans have a chance to guess it for starters.

I would suggest 'superintendent' as type-in for 'Boss'. But since I am not native English, I might be wrong...

You've got it wrong here:

"General term for a word that ends in "est"

Superlative"

For examole "nest" is a word that ends in est but is not a superlative.
