Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I have many exuberant ideas flowing to start the first question of this exciting expedition in to words beginning with EX. Can you define the word 'exuberant'?

Answer: Full of unrestrained enthusiasm or joy

Team leader Plodd of the Scrambled Eggheads said, "I need to be eggsuberant to keep my team on their toes and to stave off boredom. This is why I have got my members to contribute towards this eggsiting quiz".

2. Hopefully it will not be necessary to expurgate any of the questions included in this team quiz. Can you define the word 'expurgate'?

Answer: To remove offensive sections from a text

Moonraker2 said, "Following eggstreme pressure from team leader Plodd, I eventually succumbed to contribute the above eggsample of an 'EX' word for the Scrambled Eggheads team quiz".

3. At least one team member of the Scrambled Eggheads is an expatriate. 'Expatriate' means what?

Answer: One who has taken up residence in a foreign country

Team member CoachinChina eggsplained to us all that an expatriate is commonly called an "expat". Exonerate is to free from blame, excommunicate is to remove someone from the Roman Catholic Church and ex parte is a legal proceeding involving only one party to a lawsuit.

Answer: Alien, foreign or superfluous

Extraneous basically means not belonging to, or outside the range or facts of any given topic, event and so forth.

Team member Creedy from down under said "My baseball input would consist of questions along these lines":

(1) Er, um and oh yes, do Americans put Vegemite on their hot dogs?
(2) Er, um and oh yes, what position did Pete Sampras play in his long term baseball career, and
(3) Er, um and oh yes, where on the gridiron were the baseball diamonds dug up?

5. We all hope our Team Leader is pleased with us, as we are doing this quiz on an ex gratia basis. What is the definition of 'ex gratia'?

Answer: As a favour

Ex gratia is an adjective which means 'as a favour' or 'not compelled by legal right'. Team member peewee2 of the Scrambled Eggheads said "Although she is bossy, we couldn't eggsactly refuse our team leader in contributing to this quiz!"

Answer: To increase the severity of something

Eastenders01 from the Scrambled Eggheads said "The word exacerbate is often used in medical terminology. It is used when something aggravates a condition, though at times I wonder if I eggsacerbate my team leader!"

7. We've been taking our own sweet time getting this team quiz completed. We've all been eggstremely busy though and our behaviour has been exculpated. Can you define exculpated?

Answer: Freed from any question of guilt

We have therefore been eggsonerated for our tardiness. However, we're eggstremely lucky that team leader Plodd isn't more eggsacting in her eggspectations. Poor Creedy from the Scrambled Eggheads was gegging a heggache and need an eggspirin with all these egg words.

8. Just a few eggstra eggsamples of words beginning with EX are now needed, so I'll throw one more in for your eggsamination. What does the word acaudate imply?

Answer: Having no tail

Moonraker2 from the Scrambled Eggheads said "Now that we're fully aware of its meaning, it can safely be said that all members from the Scrambled Eggheads team are acaudate ... to the best of my knowledge".

9. When compiling my quizzes I have sometimes been told they've been written extemporaneously. What does extemporaneously mean?

Answer: With little or no preparation

Now that team member Jennings has learned what this long word means, all his quizzes will be thoroughly prepared, and with just a bit more interest to make it eggsiting.

10. I have nearly eggshausted all ideas for words beginning with EX but I have found one more for you to guess. What is the meaning of 'exuviate'?

Answer: To shed or cast off a covering; molt

Team leader Plodd hopes that this team quiz has eggsplained to you the meaning of a few words beginning with EX. The team will now retire for the night with a relaxing cup of eggnog. Thank you for playing.
