Oooh, sixth place! Woot! Thank you, Rebo and biggirl!

84

Holy cow! Fourth place!

85

Perhaps I should be glad I missed this one, since my answer to #10 was going to be “amnesia,” having failed to grok the question.

86

Holy crap!!!

Wow!!!

I cant believe that! Two in a row!!!

87

Interesting…

88

Good feud. Couldn’t understand how I was so low down, until I realised I’d put “sparkles” instead of “sprinkles”. That and my “baguette” was costly, missed the two highest scoring answers.

89

Ouch, 49! Still, it was a fun one. Thanks, biggirl and Rebo!

Here is my answer list followed by what I actually call these things. I tried to go with what I think the most people say.

Answer list:

  1. Soda
  2. Sub
  3. Sprinkles
  4. Sneakers
  5. Line
  6. Fountain
  7. Popsicle
  8. Creek
  9. You
  10. Thingy

Actually what I call them:

  1. Pop - I’m from Michigan
  2. Sub
  3. Sprinkles
  4. Tennis Shoes - I’ve never called them sneakers in my life.
  5. Line
  6. Drinking Fountain
  7. I wasn’t sure what they referred to. My first thought was Sherbet, actually.
  8. Stream
  9. You All
  10. Thing

So, it was really quite different on this one.

91

I’m pretty sure it’s used only in New England.

And on the other hand, I’ve never in my life heard of anyone call a sub a “grinder” and I’ve lived my entire live in MA and NH. Oh, I’ve read about how “we” call them that like how we supposedly call soda “tonic,” but actually hear someone say it? Nope.

92

So, what was question 5 intending?

93

And 7? I mean, did it have a specific idea or was it about all Popsicles, sherberts, and frozen yogurts?

94

Can’t believe I missed this one. I would’ve done well and a couple of my answers would’ve skewed everyone else’s results (the answers that tied).

I can’t believe nobody on here calls a long sandwich a Po-Boy though…that’s the only one I would have not done well on.

95

For 7 I was thinking along the lines of slurpee or slushy or icee. And most people understood 5 just fine.
