Off the couch with a stab in the dark and a fun backsolve!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Hmm. The answer to the prompt and the answer from the meta are different. So I tried “Woo hoo” first, but when crosshare insisted that was not it, went ahead and submitted the meta answer.
45 down though? @Clark E. Tripe what do you think of him calling this fancy newfangled OS “early”?

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Such a great puzzle! OTC but only metaphorically… knitting requires my 34D remain right here!

Off the couch, thanks, Jay. I hope you are on the couch, resting - you are working overtime this week, and it's only Monday!

Oops - did not mean to post twice. I'll just say that I enjoyed this puzzle twice as much instead.

Off the couch..er bench, and back to work.
I’m taking issue with the meta constructor’s intended answer.
@Bird Lives, you are one of our funnest grid and meta creators.

Ah yes, the Bechtel crab test for movies:
Are there at least two crabs in it,
who talk to each other,
about something other than a seahorse?

I thought I knew the correct answer, but GM-NAA I/O wouldn't fit!

OTC after a brief detour down a vacant rabbit hole. Not something I would say though. Thanks, Jay!

Have been nudged off the couch, after sinking into a rabbit hole under the cushions! Look forward to more Bird Lives puzzles!
