25 across (2 wds): Jungian key phrase, of social psych.

this morning, i finished my first new york times crossword puzzle

it was yesterday's, and the word tripping me up was "goner"

someone once told me of a study that drew the following conclusion:
crossword puzzles are always completed more quickly,
and with greater facility, the day after they first appear in print

they think it's because the knowledge is out in the universe,
circulating

skating the brain links of populations
like a school of hyperactive sea monkeys in thick round spectacles
