In modern times, the term headhunter is often used to describe a group of recruiters whose main purpose is to find employees for another company.

3. What could you call a pain in the brain?

Answer: headache

This is a very common condition, usually indicated by pain in the upper and lower neck, as well as all throughout the head. It is often treated by aspirin or ibuprofen. Some of the quizzes on FunTrivia cause me to have this condition!

4. What is the name of a body of water in Michigan, or a town in Ontario, Canada?

Answer: Head Lake

Not only is there a community in Ontario, Canada named Head Lake, but there is also a lake and a river with the same name. I had never heard of this, but maybe you had?

Answer: headquarters

This word can be used for military facilities or companies. It is where the essential activities of the business or organization take place.

6. What is the large, bold print on top of a news article?

Answer: headline

Typically, a headline is used to catch the reader's attention. It lets the reader know what the story is about in a few words. Because headlines are so short, this can lead to some unusual gaffes through double meanings.

7. What would you say you are doing if you are making clear, forward progress?

Answer: headway

Headway has several other definitions as well. It can also indicate the vertical space of a room that allows for easy passage. Sometimes is is used to show the appropriate space between two vehicles traveling on a road.

8. What is a part of a car's engine which aids in compression?

Answer: head gasket

Car mechanics question ... Ugh! There are different types of head gaskets used in engines, such as steel and copper. If your vehicle has a problem with the head gasket, your car can overheat and cause overall damage to the engine.

9. What is the hoist at the pithead of a mine called?

Answer: headgear

More common definitions for headgear include any type of hat, turbans or hair pieces (toupees). Headgear is also something covering one's head for protection, or a part of the harness that fits over a horse's head.

10. Someone has given you a Glaswegian kiss. What is another word for this?

Answer: headbutt

A headbutt, or Glaswegian kiss, is a strike to the head using a tougher part of one's head to inflict pain to a more sensitive part of someone else's. Be careful, if done improperly you can hurt yourself more than the person you are trying to headbutt. In most sports, this method is illegal.

Thanks to Wikipedia.org and thefreedictionary.com for much of the information I found while researching this quiz.

If you have scored a perfect 10, then you, my friend, are most definitely at the "HEAD of your class!"
