Question 1 of 10
1. I decided to go visit the museum today. It was a great day outside so I walked. Well, wouldn't you know it! When I was crossing the street I tripped over this really small pebble and was sprawled out along the side of the road. My right elbow skidded across the pavement and came to a stop against some kind of cement restraint at the side of the road. What stopped me from skidding another quarter mile down the road? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. I managed to pick myself up as gracefully as possible. A sanguine colored mess was all over my sleeve. Ewwwwwww! What was on my sleeve? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. I decided to continue my walk to the museum. On the way there, I passed by a neighborhood fence, not knowing the gate was open, and out ran a huge St. Bernard.

Question 4 of 10

Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. As I writhed in pain, I kicked off my shoes and headed to the bathroom to get that ointment I was after. Rascal, my dog, had left his rubber bone in the hall. I stepped on it, of course! In the process I let out a yelp, as I felt the pain searing in my calcaneus. What hurt so much? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. I was really swollen, so I squeezed out a generous amount and applied it. It was only seconds before the burning started. I had put some liniment on my stings by mistake. What is liniment? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Besides being swollen up, now I looked like I had conjunctivitis. I somehow managed to turn on the faucet and splash cold water on my face to ease the pain. What in the world is conjunctivitis?

Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. Hurrying, I climbed out of the shower and as I passed by the mirror, I could not believe the hideousness of what I saw. What does hideousness mean? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. There I was in my robe, looking like some kind of a monster, when the doorbell rang. I hobbled down the hallway, barely avoiding that dog's bone again, and swung open the door to reveal my date holding a nosegay. What is a nosegay? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. My date made coffee for us, as I sat there explaining the events of my day. He started to laugh, which made me laugh. We ordered pizza and by the end of the evening we were chortling about my day. What does chortling mean? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I decided to go visit the museum today. It was a great day outside so I walked. Well, wouldn't you know it! When I was crossing the street I tripped over this really small pebble and was sprawled out along the side of the road. My right elbow skidded across the pavement and came to a stop against some kind of cement restraint at the side of the road. What stopped me from skidding another quarter mile down the road?

Answer: Curb

A curb is a cement/concrete structure which acts like a support or wall from the ground to the pavement. Often you will see sewer drains built into the curb as well.
2. I managed to pick myself up as gracefully as possible. A sanguine colored mess was all over my sleeve. Ewwwwwww! What was on my sleeve?

Answer: Red blood

Yes, sanguine means red like blood. It also means that it consists of blood or is related to blood. Gross! After scraping your elbow across the pavement, you would be bleeding too! Ouch! That hurt.
3. I decided to continue my walk to the museum. On the way there, I passed by a neighborhood fence, not knowing the gate was open, and out ran a huge St. Bernard. He ran up to me and in a matter of seconds he had driveled all over and inside my opened purse. What did this monstrosity of a dog do?

Answer: Drooled

Yes, he drooled all over the inside and the outside of my purse. To drivel means to let saliva dribble and drool out. It also means to talk stupidly, which is what I did as I muttered to myself. I couldn't very well continue to the museum this way! I was a mess!
4. I headed back home to freshen up. I decided to take the short cut through the alley but lo and behold, I shouldn't have, because I ended up disturbing a hornet's nest and getting stung, several times, around my nasal dorsum. Where on earth did I get stung?

Answer: Bridge of the nose

The nasal dorsum is the bridge of the nose. It is that area between the eyebrows. I could feel it swelling up really fast and knew I must have looked like Quasimodo by now! Gee! By the time I got back home, I was so puffy that I could hardly see. I hurried to get some ointment for my stings, but since I couldn't see very well I backed right into the edge of the open closet door and bruised my hip.
5. As I writhed in pain, I kicked off my shoes and headed to the bathroom to get that ointment I was after. Rascal, my dog, had left his rubber bone in the hall. I stepped on it, of course! In the process I let out a yelp, as I felt the pain searing in my calcaneus. What hurt so much?

Answer: Heel bone

The calcaneus is the medical term used to describe the heel bone. Well, let me tell you, the dog's toy bone was so hard and chewed up that it felt like I had a three inch hole in my heel. I thought I was going to die, it hurt so much. Finally, once the pain in my heel settled down, I managed to get into the bathroom and then I fumbled around until I found the tube of ointment for those wasp stings.
6. I was really swollen, so I squeezed out a generous amount and applied it. It was only seconds before the burning started. I had put some liniment on my stings by mistake. What is liniment?

Answer: Ointment for muscle pains

Liniment is a mixture of many substances to produce an ointment for rubbing into sore muscles. "Absorbine Jr" is a well known brand of liniment. Liniment does not belong around, near or in your eyes. It stings!
7. Besides being swollen up, now I looked like I had conjunctivitis. I somehow managed to turn on the faucet and splash cold water on my face to ease the pain. What in the world is conjunctivitis?

Answer: Pink eye

Conjunctivitis is a condition known as pink eye. It is an infection which makes eyes really bloodshot looking, which makes the whites look completely pink. There is seepage from the eyes, in my case, tears! I decided to take a shower.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had a dinner date with that cute fellow that I met at my office building last week right after I won the employee of the month award.
8. Hurrying, I climbed out of the shower and as I passed by the mirror, I could not believe the hideousness of what I saw. What does hideousness mean?

Answer: Ghastliness

Hideous means unattractive, very ugly, horrible and shocking, just to name a few synonyms of the word. My elbow was scraped, my heel was throbbing, my eyes were swollen from hornet stings and bloodshot from the wrong ointment, my hip was bruised and I had a date coming any minute now.
9. There I was in my robe, looking like some kind of a monster, when the doorbell rang. I hobbled down the hallway, barely avoiding that dog's bone again, and swung open the door to reveal my date holding a nosegay. What is a nosegay?

Answer: A small bunch of flowers

A nosegay is a small bunch of flowers which are all cut to the same length and arranged in a round shaped bouquet. I just about passed out and my gentleman caller quickly grabbed me, asking what in the world had happened to me. I started to cry and he asked if he could come in.
10. My date made coffee for us, as I sat there explaining the events of my day. He started to laugh, which made me laugh. We ordered pizza and by the end of the evening we were chortling about my day. What does chortling mean?

Answer: Chuckling gleefully

Chortle means to chuckle gleefully, to express with a gleeful chuckle. It is a joyful laugh. Why were we laughing joyfully you ask? Because the whole thing really was rather funny when you think about it. I mean, even I can picture myself sprawled on the road, then a purse full of drool and the wrong ointment for the bee stings, and then the look on his face when he saw me at the door. You have to admit, that must have been a sight to see. Ha ha ha!
