Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. My hink pink is a fedora embroidered with the Greek letters of a male college organization.

Answer: Frat hat

Whether it be Sigma Chi, Alpha Phi Alpha or Tau Kappa Epsilon, fraternities (or frats for short) have been around since 1775. And while hats aren't a requirement, a fedora emblazoned with your Greek letters would certainly qualify as a frat hat.

2. My hinky pinky is what a group of witches use to bake their cake in.

Answer: Coven oven

A group of witches is a coven, and you use an oven to bake your cake.

3. My hinky pinky is another term for a fan of the Green Bay NFL football team.

Answer: Packer Backer

The Packers have been playing football in Green Bay since 1919. And an affectionate term for a fan of the team is a Packer Backer.

4. My hinketty pinketty is a Mexican thief of an annoying, Zika virus-carrying insect.

Answer: Mosquito Bandito

Mosquitoes are considered to be the deadliest animal in the world, often being the carrier of dangerous diseases like malaria or Zika. And banditos are Mexican bandits, often portrayed in popular culture.

5. My hink pink is a college class about an equestrian animal.

Answer: Horse Course

The most common equestrian animal is a horse (of course), and another word for a class you enroll in in college is a course.

6. My hink pink is your most important blood vessel, the aorta. Wait a minute, the aorta is an artery, NOT this?

Answer: Main vein

The aorta in the main blood vessel leading out of the heart. And arteries carry blood away from the heart. Veins bring de-oxygenated blood back to the heart. That makes the aorta an artery, but there is no definitive main vein, there is a pair of veins, the vena cavae, that collect all blood from the lesser veins. So with a little wordplay, we come up with main vein.

7. My hink pink is a good newspaper headline name for a burglar who steals hamburger. Or maybe a T-bone steak.

Answer: Beef Thief

T-bones and hamburger are all formed from beef. And while there are many synonyms for burglar...robber, pickpocket, pilferer, prowler...thief rhymes with beef.

8. My hinketty pinketty is when someone gives you a recommendation of something to eat while you look at a menu. What is it they give you? Or rather, what "I.S." it they give you?

Answer: Ingestion suggestion

This may have required a little thought. Ingestion is the act of taking food in by swallowing it. And when someone makes a recommendation for you to do, that is a suggestion.

9. My hink pink is what a football or basketball "squad" puts together as a game plan for the upcoming contest.

Answer: Team scheme

A scheme is an all-encompassing plan for a group to accomplish a goal. In the case mentioned, the group is a sports team.

10. My hinky pinky is an American short-handled farming tool with a semicircular blade that you bought on sale for only five cents.

Answer: Nickel sickle

Nickel has an atomic number of 28, and is a primary ingredient in stainless steel. So if you have a really nice sickle, there would be some nickel involved, even more nickel than in the five-cent piece you used to buy it.
