Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Okay, here's the first name, Kat, located inside a common word: _ _ _ _ _ _ K A T _ Now, figure out the letters that go into the blanks to form a common word. Then choose which of the definitions best fits that word.

Answer: parsimonious person

A CHEAPSKATE is a person who is unwilling to spend his money, someone who is parsimonious. Perhaps the earliest citation of the word was in 1896 in an Ohio newspaper, the "Newark Daily Advocate": a streetcar operator was arguing with a coal wagon driver, saying "You're a gol dinged, insignificant, pusillanimous, ragged, cheap skate of a tenth assistant barnyard corporal."

2. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ E L I A

Answer: drug sub culture

The first known usage of the word PSYCHEDELIA was in 1967. Popular drugs being used in that drug culture included LSD, mescaline, and mushrooms. The term psychedelia can also refer to psychedelic art and psychedelic music.

3. _ _ _ _ _ M E L _ _

Answer: summertime fruit

Florida, Texas, California, Georgia and Arizona grow most of the United States' crop of WATERMELON. The fruit (Oklahoma calls it their state vegetable) sure is named appropriately since 92% of it is indeed water. It is packed with vitamins A, B, and C.

4. _ _ _ C O L E _ _ _

Answer: sleep disorder

NARCOLEPSY is a neurological disorder that affects people's sleep patterns and state of wakefulness. People suffering from it are prone to falling asleep during the daytime.

5. _ _ E V E R L Y

Answer: in a witty manner

Something said or done CLEVERLY is done in an intelligent, witty, or shrewdly inventive manner. Critic Harold Rosenberg wrote that, "One of the grotesqueries of present-day American life is the amount of reasoning that goes into displaying the wisdom secreted in bad movies while proving that modern art is meaningless. They have put into practice the notion that a bad art work cleverly interpreted according to some obscure Method is more rewarding than a masterpiece wrapped in silence."

6. _ _ _ M A Y _ _

Answer: disheartened

Feeling DISMAYED is to feel a sense of fear, dread, worry, or consternation. Richard Bach, the author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" wrote, "Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends."

7. K A I _ _ _ (Yes, Kai was the 100th most popular boy's name of 2016 in the U.S.!)

Answer: German emperor

The title of KAISER refers to emperors of Austria and Germany in the latter half of the 19th century. The KAISER roll that we enjoy eating does indeed come from Austria and is also known as a Vienna roll.

8. _ _ R I C K _ _

Answer: afflicted

Someone who is STRICKEN is seriously affected by a disease perhaps, or something that is overwhelming. The French author Marcel Proust once wrote, "People who are not in love fail to understand how an intelligent man can suffer because of a very ordinary woman. This is like being surprised that anyone should be stricken with cholera because of a creature so insignificant as the comma bacillus."

9. _ _ T H A D _ _ _

Answer: pain treatment

METHADONE is a narcotic, an opioid used to treat pain in patients or as part of a treatment programme for opiate addicts. Among the many brand names it is sold under include Amidone, Dolophine, Heptadon, Methadose, Physeptone, and Symoron.

10. _ _ _ P E G _ _ _

Answer: unfairly blamed victim

Well, if you didn't like this quiz there's no one to blame but me. I have no SCAPEGOAT to direct you to. The word SCAPEGOAT was coined in 1530 AD by William Tyndale, though he spelled it scapegoote, literally meaning "the goat that escaped." Using it as a verb, that is, to say something like "they scapegoated him" did not appear until the 1940's.

These quizzes ask not "What's in a name?" as the saying goes, but rather, "What's a name in?" You will be shown a word that has several letters removed from it, with blank spaces in those missing letters spaces. The letters that have not been removed spell out a common first name. So for example, here's a big word: F R A N K _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 letters after the K have been replaced with blanks, leaving FRANK, a first name. But what was the full word? Was it: 1. A gift from the Magi, or 2. A condiment or relish, or 3. a colorful frock, or 4. a two-masted type of schooner? #1 is the answer because the Magi gave FRANKINCENSE as a gift when visiting the Nativity.
