Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Add a fish to cock to find an insect you'd prefer to avoid.

Answer: Cockroach

The roach is a small, mainly freshwater, fish found in parts of Europe and western Asia. It is quite widespread and easy to catch.

The cockroach has been around for millions of years and, since they are so difficult to eradicate, are likely to be with us for millions more. They may even outlive the human race.
2. Add a light sleeper to bull for an earth mover.

Answer: Bulldozer

A dozer is someone having a nap, or turning over in bed to catch a few extra minutes when the alarm sounds.

A bulldozer is a large, tractor-like, machine, used for clearing ground which has tree stumps or rocks covering it.
3. Add an appendage to cock for something to drink.

Answer: Cocktail

Many animals have tails of various descriptions. Humans have the remains of a tail at the base of the spine, known as the coccyx. Comets can also be described as having a tail, but they are all appendages.

A cocktail is a mixed drink, usually alcoholic, with a main spirit such as rum or gin mixed with fruit juice or vermouth.
4. Add a word for hurry to bull to create a wetland plant.

Answer: Bullrush

If you are late for an appointment you're going to be in a rush to try to get there on time.

Bullrushes, or bulrushes, are reedlike plants which grow in or near water. They are sometimes called cattails in the UK and buggy whips in the USA.
5. Add the top part of your body to bull and you'll create a fish.

Answer: Bullhead

The head is the upper part of the body where your eyes, nose, mouth and, most importantly, brain are located. The word can also be used as shorthand to describe the person in charge, such as a headteacher or head waiter.

The fish called the bullhead is also called the miller's thumb and is found primarily in rivers of Europe. It has a distinctive appearance with a large head and narrower body. There is an American fish of the same name, which is a member of the catfish family.
6. Add a suitor to cock to find someone to steer your boat.

Answer: Cockswain

Not often used in the twenty-first century, a swain is a young, often lovelorn, youth trying to woo a maiden. He could also be called a suitor or beau.

A cockswain, now more often spelled coxswain, is the person responsible for steering a boat, particularly those used in races. The name is often shortened to cox.
7. Add a writing implement to bull for somewhere baseball players warm up.

Answer: Bullpen

A pen is used to write with ink, either in a fountain pen or as a ballpoint pen. The fountain pen has a nib and is usually used for more formal correspondence.

The bullpen is the area used by relief pitchers to warm up prior to playing in a baseball game. Bullpen can also be used literally, to refer to a place where the male animal is kept.
8. If you add being certain to cock, you can end up being overconfident.

Answer: Cocksure

If you are positive you are right, then you can be said to be sure.

To be cocksure, though, takes this a step further to the point of being smug or arrogant and generally irritating everyone you talk to.
9. Add a playing card to bull for a variety of plum.

Answer: Bullace

I could have said 'the highest ranking playing card', but there aren't too many options to eliminate before arriving at 'ace'.

The bullace produces smaller fruits than the plum, and is often compared to the damson. The fruits are mainly used in cooking, rather than eaten from the tree, and can also be used to make wine.
10. Add a hole to cock to find part of an aircraft.

Answer: Cockpit

A pit is a large hole in the ground, and can refer to a mine, such as a coalmine.

The cockpit in an aeroplane is where the pilot and, often, other crew members sit to fly the aircraft. In the past, a cockpit is where the birds were set against each other to fight. This is illegal in many countries now, although reports of cockfighting still surface now and then.
