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.

They are covered in gravy, and it gets all over my hands. I usually don’t have a napkin in the car, so I try to be as careful as possible while easting them. Gobble Gobble.
