Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What does "left in the dark" mean?

Answer: Not to be informed

If some one is left in the dark, they are not being informed of what is happening. Sometimes you hear the expression of "being out of the loop." That has a similar meaning.
2. When someone is described as having "two left feet," what does he usually have difficulty doing?

Answer: Dancing

This phrase usually applies to a person who cannot navigate the dance floor. It combines awkward dance moves and a few sore toes of the partner. That guy danced like he had two left feet and they were both standing on my toes!
3. What does it mean when someone says that "the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing"?

Answer: No one knows what the others are doing in the group

One person in a group or organization is totally unaware of what the others are doing. The board of directors is so inept that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
4. What does it mean if you say someone is "out in left field"?

Answer: They are completely wrong

Usually when a person is said to be in left field they are completely wrong about the subject.
After stepping on my toes the entire night, he said he was going to open up a dance studio. Boy, he's out in left field with that idea.
5. What does it usually mean when something "comes out of left field"?

Answer: Something suddenly appears from an unexpected source

We thought Susie was such a quiet and conservative girl. When she suggested that we all do a striptease to raise money, that really came out of left field.
6. "Hang a left" simply means what?

Answer: Turn left

This is used when giving directions to someone. Just go past that stop sign and hang a left.
7. What does it mean "to be left hanging"?

Answer: A question was not answered

Usually something is left hanging or up in the air when a solution to the problem has not been given. George was supposed to give us the list of interns, but he never showed up and we were all left hanging.
8. What does it mean to "be left holding the baby"?

Answer: Suddenly dealing with an unexpected problem

"Left holding the baby" has the same meaning as "left holding the bag." This usually coincides with having to deal with an unexpected and usually not a pleasant situation. Everyone was supposed to show up and help. No one came and I was left holding the bag.
9. What does it mean to be "left high and dry"?

Answer: In a difficult situation

If someone is left high and dry it is usually not a situation in which he would want to find himself. We were expecting Henry to take us home after the party, but he got mad and left without telling us. He really left us high and dry.
10. What does it mean to be "left out in the cold"?

Answer: Not be part of the group

To be left out in the cold means that a person or even a group of people are not part of the larger group. If you were on a trivia site and there were only questions on one topic, a lot of people would be left out in the cold if that was not their area of expertise. That does not happen here.
