(Do NOT give me numerals; write it out as an English word! We have to drop letters, remember!)
2. As that one was either blindingly obvious or completely cryptic, give this a go. Drop a letter, and give me two words: a mild expression of surprise, and a word describing a slender, perhaps even underweight person.
(No punctuation or conjunction - just the two words, please!)
3. Drop another letter, please, and tell me what those men with the funny pants are doing when they place a golf ball on a concave peg? They are _________ up.
4. If you please, now drop a letter and show me a spirit of Arabian folklore -- often imprisoned within an oil lamp. (Maybe he will give you three wishes if you free him.)
5. Now please drop a letter and give me the unit of heredity that gives us our characteristics like eye color or hair color.
6. Drop another letter and please give me a word used to indicate a married woman's maiden name. (Do not include any diacritical marks!)

12. This one's a little tougher. Add a letter, and give me two words: a salutation, and something that entraps. (You might greet your meshy butterfly-catcher this way. Just the two words please, no punctuation)
13. Now add a letter, and if you can, please give me an extremely obscure synonym for caffeine, especially when it occurs in tea (which used to belong to genus Thea).
14. Here's another tricky one. Add a letter, and give me two words. Tell me the high-pitched utterance a horse makes, and additionally tell me the Latin word for "and".
(No punctuation or conjunction - just the two words, please! Watch your spelling!)
