31a hangouts found here (6) ?o?n?s … seems like joints but it's not funny enough

[donny48]

haunts

[donny48]

Have you given the full clue ?

[diac]

but that conflicts with 26,25 retain note to revolt (8) ?e???I?e which seems to be memorise … anyway haunts don't have a second definition either

[diac]

hey-Donny-Donny I appreciate the help but we're more hung out than hangout

[Captain2]

[dannyk13]

Memorise looks correct - Memo(note) + rise(revolt)

[donny48]

Memorise does look correct and therefore so does joints. Haunts was just a first reaction but can't parse.

[mallyh]

could it refer to marijahna?

[dannyk13]

Hangouts is a Google app, but can't relate that to the letter pattern.

[dannyk13]

Hangout (singular) is an often visited place so I suppose you could equate it with joint eg He hangs about in the joint.Just a thought.

[dannyk13]

noun: hangout
a place one lives in or frequently visits.
"a club notorious in the area as a hang-out for the criminally inclined"

[dannyk13]

[scorpiojo]

I couldn't have put it better myself.. ,-)

[donny48]

Nicely done and funny.

Could joints be a reference to the structure of the crossword puzzle itself (found here), i.e. the intersections/junctions of the various clue answers?

Just a thought........

[Lie-in King]

An odd clue this, sort of covered above, I had it mind as -

Joints - "hangouts" & '(han)gout(s)' (is) found here (in joints)

[Lie-in King]

Doh - ^ "...in mind..."
