The italicized clues look like what you see in Puns and Anagrams puzzles, but these are different. Each ___ indicates removing an item similar to others in the list.

"Pay for play" is tricky misdirection. It assumes you mistyped "pay" when you meant "play". To "cut a rug" is an expression from decades ago that means to dance. (My favorite old-time dance expression is to"scuff the parquet." Why did that ever go out of style?)
