Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Gnu yurts heave

Answer: New Years Eve

Birthday of my deceased cat Missy Raymer and my great-nephew Pablo, author of several funtrivia.com quizzes. Ira Kamin, keyboard player on "One Toke Over the Line" by Brewer and Shipley, was also a New Year's Eve baby.

2. Hold lank sign

Answer: Auld lang syne

The title means "times gone by." Here are the lyrics (adapted from Robert Burns):

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pou'd the gowans fine,
But we've wander'd monie a weary fit,
Sin auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl'd in the burn
Frae morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin auld lang syne.

And there's a hand my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught,
For auld lang syne.

3. Sham pain

Answer: champagne

Named for the Champagne region of France. Strictly speaking, "champagne" from anywhere else (like California) is just sparkling wine.

4. Kin fatty

Answer: confetti

Confetti, balloons, streamers, noisemakers, and party hats are all traditional New Year's paraphernalia.

5. Nude hears Ritz salute shuns

Answer: New Years resolutions

Most popular is probably losing weight. If you have any funny ones that you'd like me to include here, send me a note.

6. Guile lumbar dough

Answer: Guy Lombardo

Canadian entertainer Guy Lombardo (1902-1971) was a musician and bandleader who recorded a famous version of "Auld Lang Syne." For the World War II generation he was as closely associated with New Year's Eve as Dick Clark was for Baby Boomers.

7. Knew your spar tease

Answer: New Years parties

The closer to home the better--to avoid the answer to question number 8.

8. Trunk dry verse

Answer: drunk drivers

In Australia they are called "drink drivers." Since New Year's Eve is a night for amateur drinkers (as well for habitual drunkards), it's a good night for the police to set up traffic stops.

9. Thyme swear

Answer: Times Square

Each year, thousands gather in New York's Times Square to count down the seconds to the new year and watch the ball drop.

10. Wring kin denude here

Answer: Ring in the New Year

Happy New Year to the whole funtrivia.com community!
