Yesterday I posted a quiz for vintage sex slang, and I just couldn't resist posting another quiz today. I did fairly well on the vintage sex slang, but I did absolutely miserable (literally, the site officially proclaimed my performance miserable) on today's quiz. Three out of ten correct. It started out so easy and then suddenly I had no clue.

They don't call it the toughest game on the web for nothing. I was the 134,654,110th person to take a quiz on Etymologic.

Here are the site's instructions:

In this etymology game you'll be presented with 10 randomly selected etymology (word origin) or word definition puzzles to solve; in each case the word or phrase is highlighted in bold, and a number of possible answers will be presented. You need to choose the correct answer to score a point for that question. Beware! The false answers will often also seem quite plausible, and some of the true answers are hard to believe, but we have documentation!
