Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When the doctor said nannywoo had mono, she was sure he was wrong, because she had not puckered up for a long time. What is mononucleosis (or mono) sometimes called?

Answer: The Kissing Disease

Although mono is called "the kissing disease" there are other ways to get it, but all involve transferring saliva from one person to another. Don't share a straw or drool on anyone's pillow!

Answer: monochromatic

While the question might remind some of supernatural or maniacal themes, the prefix "mono" means one, and "chromatic" refers to color, so "monochromatic" is the correct response.

3. The doctor looked a bit like Mr. Peanut, peering at the patient through a large lens placed over one eye socket. What is this sort of eyeglass called?

Answer: monocle

According to Mr. Peanut's Facebook page, he was born in 1916 in Suffolk, Virginia. As evidenced by the trademark document on his timeline for 1916, Mr. Peanut possessed his monocle from birth.

4. The nurse was a formidable woman whose eyebrows converged into one bushy swath of disapproval. What synonyms might be used to describe her one eyebrow?

Answer: monobrow or synophrys

The medical word "synophrys" is used for what is popularly called a "monobrow" or "unibrow" in which a person's eyebrows converge. While usually normal, synophrys can be a sign of a hereditary syndrome.

5. When nannywoo asked the doctor to speak plain English rather than medical jargon, he replied, "I fear you are a monoglot, Ms. Woo." Nannywoo was very afraid. What is a monoglot?

Answer: a person who knows only one language

A monoglot speaks only one language, a polyglot speaks more than one language, and (according to Michael Erard in "Babel No More") a hyper-polyglot can fluently speak six or more languages.

6. Every day in hospital seemed the same: boring and repetitive. What adjective can be used to describe such a tedious situation?

Answer: monotonous

While some might argue that "monogamous" would also be a correct answer to the question, nannywoo has been married to the same person for a very long time and is never bored.

Answer: monophagic

In a monophagic diet, the patient is limited to one food at a time. Toast, rice, applesauce, and bananas are foods allowed on the BRAT diet, which--while limited--usually is not monophagic.

Answer: Monopoly

The Community Chest card in the 2008 U.S. version of Monopoly reads "Doctor's fee--$50" and shows the patient on crutches, obviously angry about this outrageous charge.

9. The sleeping medication made nannywoo loopy. "I thought I saw a monotreme," she said. She did not see a puddy tat. What animal did nannywoo think she saw?

Answer: platypus or echidna

Mammals classified as monotremes (referring to having "one hole" or cloaca for reproduction and other bodily functions) include the duckbilled platypus and two species of echidna, all of which can be found only in Australia and New Guinea.

Answer: monody

A monody refers to a song in which one person mourns for another. A monojet is a motorized surfboard. Monotheism is belief in one god. Monoubiquitinylation refers to a biological process of protein attachment and marking, studied in cancer research.
