Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Similar to a gilled underwater creature being removed from a liquid that consists of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.

Answer: Like a fish out of water.

Being like "A fish out of water" means that a person is trying to do something that they are completely unfamiliar with. A fish is swift and agile in water, but when it is out of water, it flops around aimlessly.
2. A chevalier in a sparkling metal protective covering.

Answer: A knight in shining armor.

A person who comes to the rescue of someone who is in some kind of trouble is referred as a 'Knight in shining armor'. In medieval times, besides protecting the realm, knights on horses were also supposed to help and protect women.
3. A small amount of learned comprehension happens to be a jeopardous item.

Answer: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

"A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" means that by gaining a little knowledge, it can convince a person that they know more that they actually do and they can find themselves in a bind because they don't have the full knowledge the subject or situation requires.
4. An adult male subsequent to the blood pumping organ belonging to myself.

Answer: A man after my own heart.

"A man after my own heart" means you like a man that feels the same way that you do and does things in a similar manner that you do.
5. The same way that Corvus brachyrhynchos soars through the air.

Answer: As the crow flies.

"As the crow flies" means the shortest distance between two points. Driving somewhere by car could be a twenty mile trip because of winding roads. But the trip for a crow, or any bird, is basically a strait line thus a shorter trip.
6. Male chicken and horned male bovine description.

Answer: Cock and bull story.

"A cock and bull story" is a story that is usually untrue or highly exaggerated but the story teller wants you to believe everything he says.
7. Pellucid as a croaking amphibian's cilia.

Answer: Fine as frog's hair.

"As fine as a frog's hair" simply means very, very fine or thin. Since there are no hairs on a frog's body, it symbolizes just how fine the the object of the discussion is.
8. As extremely hard to find as a female chicken's incisors.

Answer: As scarce as hen's teeth.

"As scarce as hen's teeth" is similar to the saying "As fine as frog's hair." It describes something is basically impossible to find. Since there is no such thing as hen's teeth, it's a sure bet that you wont be able to find what you are searching for.
9. Continue to apply your olfactory organ upon the spinning granite knife sharpening tool.

Answer: Keep your nose to the grindstone.

"Keep your nose to the grindstone" means to work steadily and diligently.
10. Apply crimson colored lacquer to the city.

Answer: Paint the town red.

There are various versions of how the saying came about. One version is that an English fox hunter and his friends were so happy with their trip, that they actually came back to town and took red paint and spread it on buildings. Another version tells of drunken rioters being so crazed that their own blood was spilled onto the streets and buildings. Today the saying "Paint the town red" means to go out on the town and have the best time possible.
