Why did I not realize you meant the mouse in my hand and not a live rodent?

Same here, and now I feel very stupid

Level 76

Nov 14, 2022

Yep. I thought "double hit with a hammer?" "Double take?" "Double trap?" Took me waaaaay to long to realize ... wrong mouse.

Level 78

Double hit with a hammer? Are you Tom from Tom and Jerry or something?

Finished the quiz with tons of time left except the mouse one. It "clicked" just in time.

Double Irish is another rope jumping game - it's like Double Dutch only you turn the ropes the opposite directions, and jumping in and out is more difficult. (Ah, those take me back 50+ years to the grade school playground. Wish I could still move that fast.)

Level 83

Nov 28, 2016

I thought double Irish is when you drink two Irish Car Bombs in a row. It is also a tax avoidance technique.

I enjoyed this comment.

I was going to post this comment unless someone else already had. Someone had…me. Only now it’s 60+ years. There was another jump rope style using two jump ropes that we called Chinese bluebells, where we crossed both ropes, but didn’t throw them overhand. Do kids even do the old jump rope games anymore?

This is a little anal, but as a meteorologist, I should point out that the colors in the spectrum are reversed in the second rainbow, so really it is VIBGYOR + ROYGBIV reading from left to right. That order holds true on both the left and right sides of the arc from the viewer's perspective.

Level 71

I was hoping someone else noticed that.

Ooo I hadnt realised it on the quiz but yes :) I like the clue that way much better. Far more poetic.

Level 87

Nov 13, 2022

Very interesting. Never realized that. (I've only seen a double rainbow once in person, out in North Dakota...and it was amazing!)

I don't think that'll make the difference between people getting that one correct or not, but it's probably a more accurate way to spell it out.

Nit-picky, but a second (or multiple) trials for the same offense are not necessarily considered double jeopardy. It common for new trials to occur in the case of a hung jury, or other reasons a judge may declare a mistrial. It's only double jeopardy if the accused is ACQUITTED, and then forced to stand trial again for the same offense.

Level 77

Nov 20, 2022

I was going to say the same thing.

Level 69

Nov 10, 2016

I was thinking about the wrong kind of mouse

YAY! Bassoon has made an appearance! I actually just finished 3 reeds...

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Tower:

Johnson, the incumbent senator and famous nationwide as the Senate Majority Leader, won the election against Tower. As John F. Kennedy's running mate, Johnson was also seeking the vice presidency in the same election. Tower's campaign slogan was "double your pleasure, double your fun — vote against Johnson two times, not one." Tower was supported by prominent Democratic former Governor Coke Stevenson of Junction in Kimble County, the loser by eighty-seven disputed votes to Johnson in the 1948 Democratic Senate primary runoff. Tower polled 927,653 votes (41.1 percent) to Johnson's 1,306,605 votes (58 percent), better than Republicans usually fared in Texas at that time.

I typed in the words BOGIE ...

But noooooooo credit ....

Can you please accept both answers ?

Level 77

Nov 20, 2022

The right answer and the wrong answer? Bogie is not a golf term.

Level 76

Nov 20, 2022

bogie has a completely different meaning than bogey

Level 79

Nov 21, 2022

It's snot right

Level 83

Nov 14, 2022

Double figure should count. I means exactly the same as double digit.

Level 76

Nov 14, 2022

Could double figures not be accepted as an alternative to double digits, that's what we say here in the UK

Level ∞

Nov 14, 2022

That will work now

Oboes and bassoons *use* double reeds. They are not double reeds themselves, but double reed instruments. And a coffee with twice the espresso is a double espresso.

Level 77

Nov 20, 2022

As a bassoonist, the instruments are absolutely called double reeds all the time. This is how musicians talk about instruments.

Level 63

Nov 23, 2022

As a clarinettist (the clarinet being a single reed *instrument*), I've never heard it used like that. Perhaps it's US-speak; after all, you call conductors maestros

Level 81

I was looking for noir picture with Stanwyck and McMurray. Alas it was not a clue.

In New Zealand all coffee comes standardly as “double shot”; you have to specify if you want a “single shot”. Either way it would be confusing to say eg “I want a double espresso latte” because “espresso” means black coffee here (though we’d usually order either a “short black” or a “long black” depending on how much water we want in it).

Level 76

Nov 17, 2022

Also accept Double or quits?

Level 89

Nov 20, 2022

double shot? that's how I drink my whiskey not coffee.

Level 61

Double Dutch means nonsense in British English. I don't know it as a game.

Level 44

Mar 27, 2025

do you play jump rope?

Level 83

Mar 27, 2025

I only recall playing with one skipping rope as a kid, but saw Double Dutch teams from the USA on the tv.

What does that say about me that I couldn't believe 70% of the people didn't know what's a "Double Wide" trailer... Uh Oh

It's one of the few words that require a southern drawl to pronounce it correctly.

s/ Double bed should be accepted, it has the word 'double' in it and it's definitely bigger than a cello!

underrated comment

Level 77

Mar 27, 2025

Very nitpicky, but between 10 and 99 doesn’t actually include all double digits, obviously the ones in the interval are still double digits, but picking this interval seems a bit odd, since you could have just as well taken the interval between 9 and 100, why exclude these two?

Level 63

Mar 28, 2025

I interpreted it as 10 and 99 inclusive.

Level 76

Mar 27, 2025

Are double deckers relatively rare outside of the London? Or are they just a cultural reference of sorts?

It has come up on a few quizzes now

Level 82

Mar 28, 2025

There are double decker buses all over the UK, not just in London, but now that I think of it, I don't remember ever going on one or seeing one in another country... interesting

Level 72

Mar 28, 2025

I've seen them in Australia, India, Germany and Brazil i think it was. They look different to the ones in London though.

I love how I thought it was mouse the animal and had no idea

Level 69

Mar 27, 2025

There are four of these terms that I have never heard of. I guess that's the issue with a quiz based on informal or colloquial sayings.
