1. If I said you were the "apple of my eye", what would I be telling you?

Answer: You are very special to me.

If you are the "apple of my eye", you are very special to me. This an old phrase that appears in the Bible and works by Shakespeare. It originally referred to the aperture of the eye (iris) and later referred to objects or people who were cherished above all others.
2. If someone said you were an "old prune", what would they mean?

Answer: You were old and wrinkled.

This phrase is used to describe an old female that is wrinkled and is usually derogatory. Similar terms would be "old battle axe", "old bat" and "old bag". If someone called you this, they would not be giving you a compliment.
3. The 1961 movie "A Raisin in the Sun" starred which Academy Award winning Bahamian-American movie star?

Answer: Sidney Poitier

"A Raisin in the Sun" was one of the first mainstream movies starring African Americans in all the lead roles. Sidney Poitier played the lead role of Walter Lee Younger. The movie focuses on the struggles of a black family living in the south side of Chicago in the 1950s.
4. What color was the star of "The Great Grape Ape Show"? Even if you have never watched it, you can guess!

5. In America, "Lemon Laws" were enacted to protect buyers of which product?

Answer: Automobiles

The so-called "Lemon Laws" were written to protect new automobile buyers. They were meant to provide an option to those who had bought cars that did not meet industry standards of performance and overall quality. The term "Lemon Law" is a nickname for this type of law, as the actual names vary by state.
6. If I said something or someone was "peachy", what would I mean?

Answer: Nice

If I say something is "peachy", I think that it is nice. Some other synonyms would be marvelous, splendid, and dandy. So if someone thinks you are "peachy", "just peachy", or "peachy keen" they hold you in high regard.
7. Which of the following companies produced the first type of smart phone called a "BlackBerry" in 2002?

Answer: RIM

The Canadian company Research in Motion (RIM) introduced the first "BlackBerry" smart phone. It supports mobile phone, text messaging, push e-mail, web browsing, and Internet faxing. It is a good example of a convergent device that allows multiple tasks on one device.
8. Who or what is a "limey"?

Answer: A British sailor

The term "limey" is a slang term that is used by Americans, Canadians, and Australians when referring to the British. It is usually derogatory. It was originally the nickname for British sailors who were believed to consume limes and lime juice in order to provide vitamin C and prevent scurvy.
9. Where would I be if I was watching a "Bananabird" sucking nectar from a tree?

Answer: Australia

The "Bananabird" is also known as a "Blue-faced Honeyeater" because of its tendency to suck nectar from grevillea trees, which are often found in banana plantations. It is found on the northern and eastern coasts of Australia and in New Guinea.
10. What fruity entertainment award is given out the day before the Academy Awards?

Answer: Golden Raspberry Award

The "Golden Raspberry Awards" are the opposite of the Academy Awards and are given to those movies and actors who were considered to be the worst in film that year. They precede the Academy Awards by one day. The awards cost about five American dollars to make.

They look like a giant raspberry on top of a roll of film. The whole thing is spray painted with gold paint. The Comedian Bill Cosby was the first person to actually accept his Golden Raspberry in person for his role in the movie "Leonard Part 6".
