Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Two women were talking about another woman who just walked in the room. One woman said, "Look at her, she must be poor because of the way she is dressed." My response was?

Answer: Never judge a book by its cover

In this scenario, the phrase "Never judge a book by its cover" means we shouldn't assume this woman is poor based on how she is dressed. She may be a millionaire!
2. I heard a man telling his friend, "I cursed my boss out, knocked everything in his office over and stormed out. He then fired me."

Answer: You made your bed, now you must lie in it

In this scenario, the phrase means you brought this situation upon yourself, so now you must suffer the consequences.
3. A woman said, "My sister wants me to visit her for the holidays, but my friend wants me to visit her too. What should I do?"

Answer: Blood is thicker than water

According to this phrase, the woman should visit her sister because you are supposed to put your family before your friends.

A counter phrase to this one is "but you need water to wash the blood stains", which means you need your friends when your family does something wrong to you.
4. A woman was talking about her son and said, "I have done everything I could to get him a job. I've set up interviews for him, I took him to job fairs, and I even offered him a job at at my business. No matter what I do, he just won't work!"

Answer: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink

This phrase means, you can do everything possible to help a person but they must help themselves too!
5. A man said to his friend, "My wife is mad at me for coming to the party. Since she is already mad, I might as well stay out longer than usual." My response was "Don't make it worse by adding ________________."

Answer: fuel to the fire

In this scenario, the phrase means don't do anything to make the situation worse than it already is!
6. A man said, "I think I deserve a raise at my job, but I'm afraid to ask for one".

Answer: A closed mouth doesn't get fed

This phrase means if you don't open your mouth and ask for things you want, you won't get them.
7. A woman was standing by the punch bowl and she was upset about something. When I asked her what was wrong, she said, "My team lost the championship football game last night" My response was...

Answer: Don't cry over spilled milk

This phrase means, the game is over and there's nothing that can be done about it, so there's no need to continue to stress or be upset about it.
8. The DJ announces there is going to be a $100 prize to the best dressed person at the party. A woman says, "I know I'm going to win and I will use that $100 to buy me a new pair of shoes!"

Answer: Don't count your chickens before they've hatched

In this scenario, the phrase means don't be so quick to spend the $100 because you might not win the contest!
9. A man who is slightly overweight is making fun of another man who is slightly overweight. What did I say to the man?

Answer: Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

This phrase means, you have a lot of nerve talking about someone when you have the same issues yourself!
10. As I was leaving the party, I heard a woman say, "If I take Route 36 to get home, I'm going to get stuck in traffic. If I take ABC Street, I'm going to get caught at a lot of red lights. Which way should I go?" My response to her was, "It looks like you are caught between a ___________________"

Answer: Rock and a hard place

Being caught between a rock and a hard place means you have two options, but both may produce bad results.
