1. Soda 2. I guess a maple beignet 3. HOAGIE 4. He’s sawing wood 5. He puked 6. played hooky 7. messing 8. Catercornered (but pronounced cattycornered) 9. A dandelion 10. A water fountain 11. Never heard of this, but I figure a round doughnut is a beignet. 12. And that’s final! 13. I’d probably say something a bit stronger, honestly, but I didn’t think we were allowed to work blue in here. 14. ??? ---

> [@bluecanary](#): > > Also, **Dolores** , is the answer “dandelion” for Q9 going to be accepted? Doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of the question to me. Well, if it matches someone else’s answer, it should. If you answer a question with “Throatwarbler-Mangrove” and so does someone else, it should count. I don’t think it’s so much violating the spirit of the question as that a lot of people honestly don’t call it anything else. ---

> [@bluecanary](#): > > Catty-corner?!? > > That one certainly hasn’t made it across the Atlantic (though it sounds useful). Learn something new… _Catty-corner_ and _kitty-corner_ are corruptions of _catercorner[ed]_. _Cater_, meaning “diagonally,” originated on your side of the Pond. ---

I usually don’t have a napkin in the car, so I try to be as careful as possible while easting them. [Gobble Gobble](http://www.wawa.com/WawaWeb/).
