Answer: Puffy shirt

Jerry and Elaine were having dinner with Kramer and Leslie one evening when Kramer had to leave the table. Leslie was talking, but Elaine and Jerry couldn't hear her and didn't want to be rude, so they agreed with everything she said. Kramer later informed Jerry that he had agreed to wear Leslie's new design, a puffy shirt, for his appearance on the "Today" show. Jerry wore the shirt, but told Bryant Gumbel that it was a stupid shirt, ruining Leslie's career.

Answer: Plank

Verses four and five continue with "How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."

Answer: Colorful bandanas

Colorful paisley bandanas were very popular during most of the 1980s. Joe Elliott and David Lee Roth wore their bandanas around the neck (cowboy style), while Mike Reno also added one as a headband. It was generally acceptable to tie them anywhere on your person, including around the knee, the arm or the wrist.

Answer: Seas

Maria (latin for seas, and plural of mare) are the dark areas that we see on the moon. They were named seas by early astronomers who thought they were actual seas. These seas are actually basaltic flows formed after volcanic eruptions or large meteoric impacts. Perhaps the most well-known of these is Mare Tranquilitatis, or the Sea of Tranquility, the landing site of Apollo 11.

Answer: Davy Jones

Davy Jones, Peter Tork, Michael Nesmith and Micky Dolenz were originally hired to be a fictional pop group for the TV series "The Monkees". Due to the show's success, they became a real pop group. The TV show began airing in 1966, and ran for two seasons.

The Monkees originally disbanded in 1970, but have reunited several times. Although Davy Jones was portrayed as the lead singer on the TV series, all four members sang lead vocals on the group's albums.

Answer: Pirate

Ahoy! Ye guessed right, didn't ye, matey? The stereotypical vision we have of the pirate originated with Robert Louis Stevenson's novel "Treasure Island". Your average pirate wore a PUFFY SHIRT, a GOLD EARRING and a colorful BANDANA tied around his head as he sailed the SEAS searching for GALLEONS to plunder. Like other pirates, Captain Jack Sparrow (played by JOHNNY DEPP in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl") just wanted to drink some RUM, try to sidestep any walking of the PLANK, and by all means avoid DAVY JONES' locker (the depths of the sea where men perished). Arrrgh!
