Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. You know what I hate? Supercilious people. You know the ones that look at you funny. I HATE THAT! You can spot them by...
2. You know who else bugs me? The sort of person C.J. Dennis defined as "an ineffably pious person who mistakes this world for a penitentiary and himself for a warder". I HATE PEOPLE LIKE THAT! What do the Aussies call these creeps?
3. You know who really jerks my nose hair is Ms. Grundy. You know her? Bartleby defines her as "A person who is too much concerned with being proper, modest, or righteous". What comic book (THAT I HATE) has a character named Ms. Grundy?
4. Thomas Babington, Lord Macaulay may have been a bit of a fancy pants but he knew a thing or two about annoying people. Who was he talking about here? "_________ hated bear-baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators." I HATE THAT THEY HATED THAT!
5. I can't stand busybodies, either, because they're always sticking their big noses in where they don't belong. I HATE THAT! Back in the old days they called gossips "quidnuncs". That's because "quid nunc" means...?
6. Yeah, I hate busybodies so much I can't stop ranting about them. I HATE THAT. I need a new word for them though. OK, say I know somebody who likes to mess with other people's business. What would be the best word for this particular person?
7. Here's a hypothetical situation for you: Say person A does something minor and persons B, C, and D decide to make a big deal out of it and make trouble for person A. Meanwhile, person E, F, and G have been getting away with exactly the same thing as person A, if not worse. Not a peep from B, C, and D. I HATE THAT! Anyway, what do you call them? No, that's not the question. Well, I don't know about you, but I call them hypocrites. You know who HATES hypocrites? God. That's right, God HATES them so much he makes them walk around in lead lined coffins for eternity, at least according to Dante.
Where do hypocrites end up in "The Inferno"?
