Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Honey, I ______ The Kids'
Answer: Shrunk
Rick Moranis starred as the mad scientist in this 1989 Disney comedy. He invented an amazing machine that did not work properly, and he turned his children into insect-sized kids!
2. Defeat an animal
Answer: Skunk
A skunk is a black and white animal, related to the weasel. To skunk someone is to defeat them soundly in a game or sport, without allowing them to score.
3. Norwegian band founded in 2000
Answer: Flunk
Flunk have released several albums, and have been reasonably successful in the UK and USA, as well as in their home country.
4. Basketball shot
Answer: Dunk
A dunk, or slam-dunk, is where the player slams the ball through the hoop, in a downward motion, as opposed to throwing it.
5. Explore a cave
Answer: Spelunk
The work derives from the Latin 'spelunca', meaning 'cave'. I am claustrophobic, so you would not catch me in one of those things!
6. Sozzled
Answer: Drunk
There are dozens of synonyms for 'drunk', some of which cannot be said in my quiz. Several that can are fuddled, inebriated, smashed, got the wobbly boot on, three sheets to the wind, wasted, sloshed, and plastered!
7. Tony Shalhoub
Answer: Monk
Adrian Monk is an ex-cop, turned detective, and has dozens of phobia and OCD symptoms. He does not like ladybirds, milk, enclosed spaces, glaciers, wind, snakes, and insists on the foodstuffs on his plate do NOT touch each other. Despite all his hangups (or maybe BECAUSE of them), he is a brilliant detective.
8. Nonsensical bed
Answer: Bunk
A bunk is a bed, and often comes as a set of two- one above the other. Bunk is also a shortened word for 'bunkum', meaning nonsense, and appears to come from Buncombe County in North Carolina.
9. A kid's game
Answer: KerPlunk
KerPlunk was released in 1967, and involves a tube, some skewers and some marbles.
10. Part of a tree, an elephant, and a person
Answer: Trunk
A tree trunk connects the leaves to the ground, a human trunk is the middle bit of your body, and an elephant's trunk is its nose. A trunk can also be the storage area in an American car, a large case for storing clothes, and in the plural, a pair of men's shorts.
