Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Perform in the manner that your years of existence require you to, not the length and width of your soled foot coverings.

Answer: Act your age, not your shoe size.

'Act your age, not your shoe size' means to stop behaving immaturely and is usually said to adults who are acting like children.
2. A twenty-four hour cycle behind time plus 100 pennies too few.

Answer: A day late and a dollar short.

If something is a day late and a dollar short it means that there is little you can do to solve a problem and even if you could do more, it's most likely too late anyway.
3. One one-hundredth of a dollar for what you are thinking about.

Answer: A penny for your thoughts.

This saying is used as a way of asking someone who is in deep thought what they are thinking about.
4. Combine a disconcerting statement with a painful abrasion.

Answer: Add insult to injury.

Adding insult to injury means to make a bad situation even worse with added useless input.
5. Consistently, the female friend of a female getting married that stands with other female friends as part of a wedding party, not ever the female getting married.

Answer: Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

If someone is always a bridesmaid, never a bride, it means a person who never manages to reach their goals or fulfill their ambitions. They get close, but never manage to make it.
6. Similar to interconnecting red pomaceous fruits of the Malus domestica tree, and citrus fruits with a name the same as its color.

Answer: Like comparing apples and oranges.

'Like comparing apples and oranges' is said when someone tries to compare two completely different things or situations as if they were the same. Such as: "To say that your job behind a desk is like my job on the loading dock is like comparing apples and oranges".
7. Gratuitous mid-day meals do not exist.

Answer: There's no such thing as a free lunch.

'There's no such thing as a free lunch' means that you don't get things for free even if it appears so. There is usually a catch, and you or someone else has to pay in some way.
8. Being smack in the middle of Beelzebub and the down-reaching azure ocean.

Answer: Between the devil and the deep blue sea.

'Between the devil and the deep blue sea' means that you have two choices and neither one of them is desirable or pleasant. It is similar to the saying, 'Between a rock and a hard place'.
9. Much larger scaly, gilled aquatic creatures to cook in hot oil.

Answer: Bigger fish to fry.

Having 'Bigger fish to fry' means that though you have a lot of things to do, most of them are set aside or deemed unimportant in favor of the more important things that need being done.
10. Leap up and land upon the wheeled cart that carries the orchestra.

Answer: Jump on the bandwagon.

To 'Jump on the bandwagon' means that if something isn't really of interest to you but all of a sudden becomes of interest to many others, you will jump in just to be part of it and not look like an outsider.
