Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: dysentery

Christopher probably meant to use some variation of "dissension" which means "disharmony." Instead he used "dysentery," an inflammation of the colon.

2. Little Carmine Lupertazzi was the king of malapropisms. When talking to Tony about being at an important juncture, he said, "You're at a ______ of an enormous crosswords." Fill in the blank.

Answer: precipice

"You're at a precipice of an enormous crosswords" is one of the many nonsensical things Little Carmine spewed. Tony certainly regretted bringing Little Carmine into the conflict over construction projects he was having with Little Carmine's father, NY crime boss Carmine Lupertazzi.

3. Here's a gem from Carmine Lupertazzi. "There's no ______ connected with going to a shrink." What word did he misuse in this sentence?

Answer: stigmata

By saying there's "no stigmata" about going to a therapist, CL probably meant to say "stigma," or disgrace. Stigmata is a disfigurement on the body believed to be the same as Jesus's wounds in the Christian faith.

4. "Revenge is like serving _______," Tony Soprano told Dr. Melfi in one session. What fills in the blank?

Answer: cold cuts

When Tony said, "You know what they say: Revenge is like serving cold cuts," Dr. Melfi politely corrected him: "I think it's 'Revenge is a dish best served cold." Variations of this saying are found in many cultures, including French writings in the 1700s and the 1972 movie "The Godfather".

Answer: entrails

Using "entrails" for "entails" was especially gruesome here. It was mentioned that Vito had internal organ damage from his attack.

Answer: Quasimodo

Bobby was referring to Nostradamus, the 16th-century author of "The Prophecies". Tony pointed out, with more than a little scorn, that Quasimodo was the Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was a story by author Victor Hugo.

7. In "Eloise", Little Carmine joined a sit-down to discuss proceeds from the Esplanade construction project. "On reflection, John, maybe that's the ______. Tony feels like you're friends and not business associates." Fill in the blank.

Answer: sticking post

By "sticking post" he must have meant "sticking point." What was supposed to be a sit-down to settle the argument over the Esplanade project did not end well.

Answer: prostate

You can't blame him too much; "prostate" and "prostrate" sound very similar. "Prostrate" means lying face down on the ground or floor, while "prostate" is, of course, a gland found in males.

Answer: interior decorator

Tony had actually informed Paul that their kidnap victim, Valery, had been a soldier with the Ministry of the Interior. Valery was a fierce opponent, a native Russian perfectly comfortable in the snowy tundra of Pine Barrens.

Answer: propane

"The sacred and the profane" is probably what he meant but he said, "The sacred and the propane." Profane means "that which is not sacred" whereas propane is a liquid gas often used in BBQs and portable stoves.
