Thinks nothing of

Answer:

FORGETS

Hint:

"Here’s a helpful hint for your crossword clue: "Lets slip from memory, perhaps." This hint gently guides the solver toward the idea of something being overlooked or not retained in thought, without directly repeating the original clue or giving away the answer. It’s easier than the original but still requires a bit of mental connection."

Explanation:

The clue "Thinks nothing of" leads to the answer "FORGETS" through a clever play on words. "Thinks nothing of" can be interpreted literally as not giving something any thought or consideration, which aligns with the meaning of "forgets" (to fail to remember or disregard).
