Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Bottle is a slang word for what number?

Answer: 2

This is a piece of rhyming slang. Although rhyming slang is usually made up of at least two words only the first word is used.So therefore, Bottle of glue = number two.

2. A Lady is the equivalent of what?

Answer: 5

Five Pounds or a fiver is called a Lady Godiva, so the number five is simply a lady. It is also sometimes called a ching, a hand or jacks.

3. Stitch: This was borrowed from a proverb, so what number does it represent?

Answer: 9

A Stitch in time saves nine, this is where the slang for nine comes from.

4. Cockle: this is nothing to do with warming the cockles of your heart, it simply means what number?

Answer: 10

Another rhyming slang number, cock and hen = ten.

5. Carpet: a carpet is worth how many quids?

Answer: 3

This is an odd one, it is supposed to come from the time a prisoner took to make a carpet while incarcerated. The time was estimated to be three months, therefore three is a carpet. A quid is worth one pound.

6. Neves: what number equals neves?

Answer: 7

Backslang this time. Simply reverse seven and you get the answer.

7. Garden is a slang word for what number?

Answer: 8

Garden gate = number eight, another example of rhyming slang.

8. Half Stretch. You could also have a full stretch, but for this quiz I would like to know what number is a stretch is slang for ?

Answer: 6

A prison sentence for a serious offence was twelve years, and those who were sentenced to this term referred to it as 'doing a stretch'.
Therefore a half stretch is six.

9. Ruof: just look at the word and you'll see what number to click?

Answer: 4

Another simple backslang. Ruof is four reversed.

10. Commodore: what number does it stand for?

Answer: 15

This isn't an original slang word, it's a recent addition.As you've already seen the number five is a lady,three times five is fifteen, and one of the Commodore hit songs was 'Three times a Lady'. Therefore three times a lady equals a commodore.
