It first appeared in the early 19th century meaning "infested with rats" or "resembling a rat." By the mid-1800s it had taken on figurative senses like "shabby, mean, contemptible," influenced by the negative associations of rats. Later, it also came to mean "bad-tempered or irritable" (20th c.). Be sure to follow me for all your daily puzzle-solving guides, TV show and movie reviews and more here on this blog!

Akie Iwai leads CPKC Women's Open, days after first LPGA Tour victory
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario (AP) — Akie Iwai was right back on top of the leaderboard in the CPKC Women's Open on Thursday, four days after her breakthrough victory in the Portland Classic. Iwai closed her afternoon round at Mississaugua Golf and Country Club with birdies on the par-4 eighth and ninth holes for a 7-under 64 and a two-stroke lead. 'Last week I won, but already it's in the past, already past,' Iwai said. Fifteen-year-old Canadian amateur Aphrodite Deng was tied for second with top-ranked Jeeno Thitikul, Leona Maguire, Gaby Lopez and 2023 winner Megan Khang. On Sunday in Oregon, Iwai joined twin sister Chisato as a rookie LPGA Tour winner. The 23-year-old Japanese player had second-place finishes in Thailand in February and Los Angeles in April, then watched her sister win at Mayakoba in May in Mexico. She's playing in Canada for first time. 'Really beautiful course,' said Akie Iwai, a six-time winner on the JLPGA Tour. 'Looks like something similar in Japan course.' Chisato Iwai bogeyed Nos. 8 and 9 to shoot 75. Deng was born in Calgary, Alberta, and her family lived in Montreal before moving to New Jersey for her father's work. She mostly lives now in Orlando, Florida, but remains a Canadian citizen and plays for Golf Canada's junior program. 'Just trying to hit each shot and play in the fairway,' Deng said. Thitikul played her first round since taking the top spot in the world from Nelly Korda. 'I think just like another day at work for me,' Thitikul said. Korda opened with a 69. Slumping Canadian star Brooke Henderson had four birdies and four bogeys in a 71. The 2018 champion won the last of her 13 LPGA Tour titles in January 2023. 'Just grateful we were able to get it back to even,' Henderson said. She played alongside Thitikul and Women's Scottish Open winner Lottie Woad, who shot 75. Defending champion Lauren Coughlin had a 74. She won last year in Calgary. ___ AP golf:

Jerry Jones: Parsons offer would make him highest-paid non-QB in guaranteed money
Dallas Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Wednesday that he's confident Micah Parsons will be on the field Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Judging by Jerry Jones' comments Thursday, there's a good chance that's without a new contract. While joining former Cowboys star wide receiver Michael Irvin on his YouTube channel, the Cowboys owner and general manager sounded completely committed to not renegotiating what he believes was already negotiated back in March with Parsons. Jones said the offer would have made the All-Pro pass rusher the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback in guaranteed money. Advertisement 'The world would know that I want Micah if they knew what I had offered him,' Jones told Irvin. 'And he knows what I offered him.' Jones and Parsons met back in March and negotiated without Parsons' agent, David Mulugheta, being present. Jones said Thursday that when they sent the contract details over, 'the agent told us to stick it up our ass.' Parsons, who requested a trade Aug. 1, is entering the fifth and final year of his rookie deal. His 2025 salary is just over $24 million. The NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback in terms of average annual value is Pittsburgh Steelers pass rusher T.J. Watt at $41 million per year. Last month, he signed a three-year, $123 million contract extension with $108 million guaranteed, the most guaranteed money by a non-quarterback. When Parsons posted his trade request on X, his statement said, 'I no longer want to be held to close door negotiations without my agent present.' Parsons included details about the March meeting, writing that it was about leadership. 'Somehow the conversation turned into him talking contract with me,' Parsons added. 'Yes I engaged in a back and forth in regards to what I wanted from my contract, but at no point did I believe this was supposed to be a formal negotiation and I informed Mr. Jones afterward my agent would reach out thinking this would get things done.' Jones continued to explain Thursday that Parsons is under contract for this season and the Cowboys have the ability to franchise tag him the next two seasons. The franchise tag number for a defensive end this season is $22 million. According to the projected franchise tag number for a defensive end next season will be a little over $26.5 million. 'We really got three years to work this thing out,' Jones said, before explaining how he did the same thing with franchise quarterback Dak Prescott, who is the NFL's highest-paid player at $60 million per season. 'We couldn't agree so Dak played the last year of his contract and then we franchised him. It's exactly what happened with Dak, so we moved forward and ultimately we got a contact, made Dak the highest-paid player in the NFL. So the precedent is handling it like Dak. Advertisement 'But in this particular case, then Micah comes in and plays this year under his contract. If he doesn't, then it's very costly, very costly for everybody.' Parsons has been attending training camp practices, taking part in the walk-through portions and meetings. But he has not been practicing. It remains to be seen if that will change next week as the Cowboys begin preparation for their season opener at Philadelphia on Sept. 4. Micah Parsons is here — Jon Machota (@jonmachota) August 20, 2025 It's unrealistic to expect a deal to get done without Jones and Mulugheta talking. That hasn't happened to this point. And judging by Jones' comments' Thursday, it doesn't sound like he will be the one making the first call. 'Micah and I talked (in March) and then we were going to send it over to the agent,' Jones said. 'We had our agreements on terms, amount, guarantees, everything. We were going to send it over to the agent, and the agent said don't bother because we have all that to negotiate. Well, I had already negotiated. I already moved off my mark in several areas. So the issue, very frankly, is we've had the negotiation in my mind. And the agent is trying to get his nose in it right now and try to come in there and improve off the mark that we had already set. 'We've got this deal resolved in my mind, for the Dallas Cowboys. We've got it done. And if the agent wants to finish up the details, which he should, and do all the paperwork, he can do that. And we're ready to go. But as far as the amount of money, the years, the guarantees, all of that, we've negotiated that.'
