3. What is the Australian slang term given to the last sheep of a group to be shorn?

Answer: Cobbler

The origin of this is a late 19th Century pun referring to a cobbler's last - a model for shaping or repairing shoes or boots. Arfanarf is a Cockney term meaning precisely how it sounds - half and half, a gongoozler is an idle bystander, while lollygag means to fool around.

Answer: Canary Islands

King Juba II of Mauretania (25BC-25AD) sent an expedition to the islands. Finding no human life, he named them the Canary Islands after these dogs - Latin canaria means dog. The bird canary takes its name from these islands rather than the region being named from the birds.

8. Which fruit is a cross between the mandarin orange and the bitter orange, deriving its name from a port in Morocco?

Answer: Tangerine

The port of Tangier, Morocco, first shipped tangerines to Europe in 1841. At that time the fruit were called Tangerine oranges but have since been adopted into the English language as plain tangerines.

On his return to England in 1673 he was imprisoned, but soon released through the influence of William Penn. Upon the accession of William III to the British throne the Society of Friends gained more tolerance and was legalised. John Wesley (with his brother, Charles) founded the Methodist Church; John Knox the Presbyterian Church of Scotland and William Booth was founder of The Salvation Army.
