"Yank" isn't rude. It's just a nickname like "Brit" or "Aussie".

To us, a yankee is an American. To an American southerner, a yankee is a northerner. To a northerner, a yankee is from the east cost. To an easterner, a yankee is from New England. To a New Englander, a yankee is from Vermont. To a Vermonter, a yankee is someone who eats pie for breakfast. To a Vermonter who eats pie for breakfast, a yankee is someone who eats cheddar with it. And so it goes.

Bwahaha! I didn't have the faintest idea what the clap thing could be, so I thought I thought maybe it had to do with movies and Hollywood - because of filming clapboards. Hot damn was I far from the truth! :-D

The Brontosaurus has been rehabilitated as its own dinosaur, something which I learnt from another quiz on this site. Here's a link to a Scientific American article on the issue: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-brontosaurus-is-back1/

The only thing that I could think of for brontosaurus was thunder lizard, but I don't really remember why that came to mind.

The point that kiwiquizzer, who I assume is from New Zealand, is making as that Americans spell gonorrhoea wrongly. I agree. I so often hear that this is an English language quiz - so accept English spelling. If you wish to accept the US version as an alternative, that's fine, but at least accept gonorrhOea!

Yes please. Jetpunk is usually very good at ensuring non-American English spellings are accepted, so no reason not to do so here. Gonorrhoea is the standard spelling in the UK.

Hey kiwi, the STI is right but...

Mary I (Mary Tudor, aka Bloody Mary) is the Catholic daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558)

She isn't Mary Queen of Scots (Mary Stuart). This is daughter of James V of Scotland. (8 December 1542 – 8 February 1587)

They are different people entirely.

The British spelling of gonorrhea makes the disease seem much more malignant, that extra o goes a long way.

Is it possible that "Sears" isn't accepted? Kind of redundant to have to add "tower", when it's already in the hint.

Gonorrhoea (this is not a correct answer). (is what it states on the website in red when I tried to enter the answer again)

That's how we spell it where I'm from.

Gonorrhoea or gonorrhea, colloquially known as the clap, is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. (wiki)
