You really say zip? That sounds weird. But hey, who am I to say something about that. We call them Reißverschluss.

I had to think what we call them... and now I am confused (faster than I can type.) First I thought rits, but then thought no that is the whole thing. Then ah maybe ritssluiting. Then I thought what is the word for the entire thing in English and well zip (per) was what my mind produced.

and forgot how I wanted to continue because I was interrupted (had to let the cat out .) While walking back I was thinking so how would they say when it is left open. And then ow yea "fly"

Conclusion no idea haha just wanted to type what we call it.. sigh

ow yea and wondering now if I switched rits and ritssluiting and rits. Don't know what is referring to what now in any language.. ahhh

Most modern guns have "rifling", not just rifles. This includes handguns.

The question specifies "long gun". So even with rifling, hand-guns are excluded.

I feel dumb for not getting a lot of these. For the Italian word question, I kept trying the craziest variants of "amor" (even "ameur" for some reason), but didn't think of just adding an E. For the Spain one, I thought of Charles as a common mens' name that began with C, but couldn't for the life of me remember what the Spanish version of it was. Completely forgot the word "semiannual" existed, and I probably would have gotten "rifle" too if I didn't get impatient and just give up.

I'd just like to point out that "semiannual" and "biannual" have slightly different meanings. Semiannual generally means every half year whereas biannual is twice a year but not necessarily at 6 month increments.

The Alex Winters/Keanu Reeves question is confusing as phrased. I could only try to think of the same character being played by each actor on different occasions. Like maybe there was a Constantine remake with Alex Winters or something

There is nothing confusing about it. You are just being immensely obtuse.
