Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This word is rarely used in common conversation but has been uttered many times between the words 'kingdom' and 'order'. What is it?

Answer: phylum

Phylum is the second tier in biological classification. The full order is Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species. Hard to spring that word in everyday conversation unless you're a biologist.

Answer: Opium

Opium contains morphine, which is commonly used to produce heroin, along with other pharmaceutical drugs like oxycodone and hydromorphone. The Opium Wars of 1839-42 were the result of China trying to stop the export of opium.

3. What onomatopoeic word is used by Americans to describe the sound a pig makes?

Answer: Oink

If you live in Great Britain, Spain or Italy, pigs make this same sound. But in Germany, pigs go 'grunz'. in South Africa, pigs say 'snork', and in Japan they go 'buu buu'. Several other countries have different pronunciations for what pigs say.

4. Sometimes used to describe a small blood-sucking two-winged insect, the most common use of what word is the nickname of a 1980s American sitcom character whose full name was Penelope Brewster?

Answer: Punky

Soleil Moon Frye played Punky Brewster for four years between 1984 and 1988. Frye joined the cast of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" in 2000 and played Roxie King on the show until 2003.

Answer: Homily

The word homily is Greek in origin and means 'to hold verbal intercourse with a person'. Protestant churches have begun to use homily to describe a short sermon that does not occur during a Sunday service, perhaps to be used for a wedding or a funeral.

Answer: Muon

Anderson and Neddermeyer were studying cosmic radiation in 1936, and Anderson noticed particles curved differently from electrons when they passed through a magnetic field. After figuring that the particles had the same charge as electrons, but around 200 times as much mass, he realised he had discovered a new particle not yet documented in science.

Answer: Nymph

The current definition of nymph has a much more sexual connotation, as the depiction in Greek mythology had nymphs able to mate with anyone at their own choosing and were completely in control of males around them. Modern psychology created the term 'nymphomania' based on the term from Greek mythology. That term has now been updated to hypersexuality so that it can describe both males and females.

8. Which word that encompasses all white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals was said to do a body good in American commercials in the 1980s?

Answer: Milk

The term 'milk' has now been used to describe liquids resembling milk in the stores, such as soy milk, almond milk and coconut milk. Ireland led all countries in 2011 in yearly per capita consumption of milk at 135 liters per person. "Milk...it does a body good" was a slogan for the dairy industry for several years beginning in 1980.

Answer: Plinko

Plinko made its debut in 1983 and has been a hit since it joined the rotation. Plinko is the usual answer when fans are asked what the most popular game is on "The Price is Right".

Answer: Unholy

A word often found in heavy metal lyrics, 'Unholy' was also a 2007 horror film starring Adrienne Barbeau. Dianna Agron, Heather Morris, and Naya Rivera play cheerleaders on 'Glee' and often teamed up to sing some of the more sexually explicit songs on today's Top 40 radio.
