I always enjoy quizzes, I like to learn as much as I can!! Very interesting learning about the origins!
That was fun and I learned a few things I didn’t know.
Enjoyed the mind-oiling experience. Mostly, the learned insight was fascinating, exciting and stimulating. Can’t wait until next time.
I like these quizzes. Missed about 4 but feel pretty good with my result and learned a few things. Thank you.
Lots of history behind these questions. Thank you

I enjoyed playing. I got a number correct. And I leaned a few things.

Medieval times huh look like they have been deceiving people wayyyyy back in MEDIEVAL times.

This was fun! I missed about 3 but was surprised how many I got right – some by knowing and a couple by guessing!
very interesting
John Dennis…never heard of him. You learn something new every day
Very interesting. I love learning how phrases originate. Thanks
Loved this quiz! Didn’t get many right…. but found it very informative as well as fun!
Your researcher flunked on the “cat” idiom:
“Obviously this explanation of the origin of the idiom seems rather implausible. For one, piglets tend to be a lot heavier than even the fattest of cats. To quote Matt Soniak of MentalFloss, “I have a cat fat enough to have earned the name “Oink,” and even he looks svelte next to a suckling pig.” Additionally, pigs squeal and oink, while cats hiss, meow, and claw. It would be pretty hard for even the stupidest of buyers to mistake a pig for a cat.”
