> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Roger Moore Yes, it’s Sir Roger Moore! “Roger” is used in aviation and the military to confirm that a message has been received and understood, similar to “okay”. Othello, popularly known through the play by Shakespeare, is often referred to as “the Moor”. Sir Roger was probably flying a plane over North Africa when this was said, in his role as super-spy James Bond. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Omarosa Manigault? Yes, it’s Omarosa Manigault! “O” is used before a name in direct address, like “Dear”. “ma” is an abbreviated form of “mother”. _rosa_ is the Spanish for pink. “Mani” sounds like “many”, which is a synonym for “lots of”. “gault” sounds like “gold”, which is a precious metal. “orange” in the clue referred to the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. ---
