Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Butter tubby Satan surrey

Answer: Better to be safe than sorry

Yeah, so wear your bike helmet, unplug your Christmas tree lights, and turn off your coffee maker before you go out.

2. Chill dram Shelby scene end gnawed herd

Answer: Children should be seen and not heard

This sentiment has obviously gone out of fashion.

3. Dumb poo tall year ache sin won brisket

Answer: Don't put all your eggs in one basket

And don't put all your money in one mutual fund.

4. Neater raw beau roarer Nora Linda bee

Or at least, if you do lend money, kiss it goodbye.

5. Ebony safe dizzy peony yearned

Answer: A penny saved is a penny earned

But don't be pennywise and pound foolish!

6. Orally two bidden airily too rice Meg's salmon elf fee yen Welsh she Anne Weiss

Answer: Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wealthy and wise

I tried this for one six-week period and it WAS actually pretty invigorating.

7. Dough jug sawbuck buy yips cougar

Answer: Don't judge a book by its cover

Meaning: Don't jump to conclusions about people based upon their looks. By the way, "sawbuck" is old-timey slang for dollar bill. Apparently dollars used to have big Roman numeral tens (Xes) on the back, and this reminded people of sawhorses (aka sawbucks), which have X-shaped legs.

8. Damp booty court bee forty hoarse

Answer: Don't put the cart before the horse

Meaning: first things first.

9. Dune gown ewer check-ins but 4-day etch

The grim folks who came up with these sayings were big on the word "Don't."

10. Leads leafing dock sly (Pronounce the first word so that it rhymes with "Ted's.")

Or, leave well enough alone. And thanks for taking this silly quiz!
