Raven wonders why you are wasting time on human topics when you could be sharing dog pictures?

you didn’t do torch or rubber…
Torch wouldve been a good one. Rubber wouldve went well with shag. lol
not really, since in the UK a rubber is an eraser
Yeah, I like to make them tricky though, so this would’ve worked. 😉
exploit their expectations?
10/10 yay! I have to admit the last two were pure guesses 🙂
You must of tapped into your ESP on the last two. John Hancock and kicks are really odd aren’t they. Thanks for playing and CONGRATULATIONS!
Only 5 from 10 but I am not American.
Not bad, you still passed Fortune. Thank you for joining along!
Got them all Kim. Funny about the meanings of some words. Great quiz.
Congratulations Carol. 😀 Yes, they are funny aren’t they. Dang teenagers! You never know what words will become popular, and twisted. Thanks for playing!
9/10 – which pleases me as a non-American! The one that I really cannot get my head around is “Sick” which now apparently means completely the opposite of what I had always understood. If somebody described something I had done as sick I would be extremely disappointed, and might even turn violent!
I wonder why this meaning became attached to the word, and when did it happen?
Sick score Indexer! 😉 Good job, and congratulations on a great score. lol Don’t become violet, please. I have no idea when this happened.
It worries me when people use words in completely unexpected ways. It’s like two people spies communicating in code but using different code books!
Ah yes, I can see that. Good analogy there Indexer.
You got 5 out of 10 right!
Thank you for playing Witty, you passed!
