Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is a term for one original or certified copy that is used in identity theft to compile other means of identification?

Answer: Breeder document

With just the first document, such as a birth certificate, requested from a town or city hall, the identity thief can create more 'identity' items like a driver's license, credit card and more. Never ever give out your social security number except when you know and trust the recipient. If a 'byblow certificate' were real it would only prove that you were illegitimate. Bioethics covers a wide range of controversial subjects, among which are abortion, euthanasia, animal research, and organ transplants.

By the way, "B" is just beaming with pride, as he seldom gets to lead the parade.
2. Which term is used to describe a stack of firewood containing 128 cubic feet, or four by four by eight feet?

Answer: Cord

People often order a cord of wood delivered before winter sets in, but if it is dumped rather than stacked it's hard to tell if it's a full cord. The wood should be stacked neatly and quickly in a dry covered area and measured to be sure it is the right amount.
3. In ancestral Sanskrit, which word means "that which is established", such as a body of laws?

Answer: Dharma

Various modern meanings derive from this, such as in Hinduism where dharma is seen as the body of universal laws that cannot be escaped. One precept is that too much or too little of anything can be harmful: adequate air is necessary for life, but an overabundance of air, such as a tornado, is destructive.

Dogma is a system of beliefs given by a church or political power.
Dancy simply means suitable for dancing.
Dybbuk (also dibbuk) in Jewish folklore is an evil spirit that can enter a person's body and cause him to do dirty deeds.
4. Flotsam is anything thrown overboard from a ship.

Answer: False

Flotsam refers only to the wreckage or parts of a ship found floating in the sea. Jetsam consists of ship parts or cargo deliberately thrown overboard to lighten a foundering vessel.

Lagan (a.k.a. lagend, lagon, ligan, ligen, logan) is like jetsam, but a buoy is attached to the piece so it can be located afterward. Rules of salvage on the high seas are particular, so be careful approaching a shipwreck or any part of it.
5. What word translated literally means 'naked philosopher'?

Answer: Gymnosophist

In Greek, 'gymnos' means naked and 'sophistes' means philosopher. This title was formerly attached to a Hindu sect who practiced asceticism, usually in their birthday suits. The term has been adopted in more modern times by some nudist groups, whether or not they are philosophers.
6. A heterodont is an animal with different kinds of teeth.

Answer: True

Omnivores are usually heterodonts because they require biting, tearing and grinding teeth (incisors, canines and molars)to consume food. Herbivores, such as giraffes, horses and cows, are homodonts as they pull up and grind their food and need only molars.
7. Which word means to joke, often in an unkind way?

Answer: Jape

Jape is to mock or make fun of. Japery can be used of a parody performed for entertainment.

Jarl was a Scandinavian noble who ranked just below the king. Earl is the English equivalent. Jambeau was the part of medieval armor that protected the lower leg. Jackboot was a 17th and 18th century heavy military boot reaching to the knee or above. A bootjack was a helpful device for pulling off long boots.
8. What is a rarely used word that means neat and tidy?

Answer: Kempt

Unkempt is better known, but kempt means the opposite, and may derive from old English for 'combed'. Kvetch is to complain bitterly (Yiddish). Kebbuck (also kebbock) is an entire wheel or ball of cheese. Kenaf is an African hibiscus cultivated for fiber and cordage.
9. How could you describe a bounding, bobbing motion?

Answer: Lollop

You might use lolloping to characterize a kangaroo, rabbit, or any vigorous hopping animal. The other choices are made up.
10. The stuff that accumulates at the bottom of your aquarium is called malm.

Answer: False

It is called mulm, and it's usually made up of organic sediment. You might want to clean it out periodically.
