Life And Soul
What it means
The person whose energy carries a gathering, and whose absence everybody notices immediately.
Where it comes from
Usually the life and soul of the party. British English keeps both nouns, while American English generally trims it to the life of the party, which loses a syllable and some of the swing.
The puzzle it came from
Life And Soul was the answer to the Phrasicle of September 16, 2026. The clue read ____ and ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
