Some of these are strange: "Eichhörnchen" would be translated as Little Oak Horn and "Flugzeug" as Flight-Stuff. Drahtesel and Erdapfel are humorous expressions for bike and potato that nobody would use in normal conversation. Maybe accept "line" for queue.

Yeah, I was thinking that Fahrrad and Kartoffel didn't mean what this quiz was describing. And I also tried "line" instead of queue, being American.

Added "line" as a type-in.

"Eichkatzerl" and "Erdapfel" are still used fairly frequently in Austria and Bavaria, and while "Drahtesel" isn't used frequently, it's still a valid word in the German dictionary. I'll change the airplane one to "Flight-stuff" though.
