You've obviously got it. But if you can't set tomorrow, you might be able to delegate. Check with OG, he's custodian of the rules.

Go on then:
"Universal Serial Bus"
But unless @OriginalGriff wants to take the reins tomorrow, I'm going to have to "borrow" one of his clues from this thread.

If you can't do it, then OK - I'll take it.

Thanks. That saves me from posting one of your "nothing" clues from earlier.

#define Pachythingy: Pachydermos in Greek means literally "having thick skin" (figuratively, it means "dull" or "stupid")
Ah, yes;
first result says "buy pachydermos with 40% off".

I'd noticed recently that my ponytail was getting thinner - it's about half what it was. So a quick check, and yes - Covid-19 hasn't finished with us yet.
As you probably know, we had it back in April / May and it was a very, very nasty experience. And in the aftermath, I got mild Covid Eye (and it's still affecting my left eye to a small extent), Herself got Covid Toe and needed antibiotics / fungicides / blister cream, But now we're both going bald!
COVID-19 hair loss blamed on telogen effluvium: treatment, regrowth[^] It probably won't get it all, and it will - apparently - regrow, but it'll likely be a few years before the original "thickness" returns.
Is there any body system that this thing doesn't affect?
(I just checked, and ... basically, no: From ‘brain fog’ to heart damage, COVID-19’s lingering problems alarm scientists | Science | AAAS[^] )

yup, it (COVID-19) is a nasty SOB - as for hair, well, I stopped worrying about such many moons ago - my preferred look is 'billiard ball' .. if I get COVID-19 it will find something else I value and rob me of it, I'm sure
glad it hasn't robbed you of your sense of humour

Pah, those are very small odds, that won't happen to me!

Small chances!

Probably just a regular fungus!

OMG PEOPLE! WEAR MASKS, STAY AT HOME, 1.5 M SOCIETY, LOCKDOWN!  
Good luck with the aftermath to the both of you

I would not bet my life on it.
I am just some years older than you and have some school pals in the deceased lists.
Hope the best, but be ready for the worst.

Seriously? I thought you Germans had figured out English humour by now. Yes, I know Sander is Dutch, but his English is exemplary.

You haven't see the news here... the anti mask demos, and the bunch of morons that believe this is a lie of the government or a control mechanism of big corporations.
So all in all, a plausible doubt to say "I don't know if you are being serious"
