Almost missed robot chicken--apparently I know too many synonyms for automoton that kept me from zeroing in on robot...

Prost? So we have to know German now to answer a quiz question? Ridiculous clue.

And when Alain won a race and opened the champagne bottle, he said, "Cheers!". It's not that hard.

Not ridiculous at all. I don't know much German but it's definitely one I've heard a lot.

Well if you know prosit, which is used in latin, latvian, german, swedish, danish (though these two wish for good health aswell, I'm not 100% it is used when toasting aswell), estonian and czech and.... English! or proost in dutch, you could have known it. It is not that big of a jump..

But if you don't know prosit or proost it's no help at all. I have no problem with learning something new, I'm just saying that assuming everyone should have heard of it is incorrect. I'm not a drinker, I don't go to bars, I don't know languages other than English (and two years of high school Spanish) and I don't watch Nascar, so it's not a word I'm familiar with.When I first saw the word I thought it said Proust. That one is familiar to me.

1) What does Nascar have to do with it? 2) Are you (or is anyone here) familiar with skål? That would be a well-known foreign synonym of Prost in Germany.

Unless I completely missed something, I think that "knowing things" is the basis for getting any question right in any of these quizzes...Not sure how suddenly knowing a simple German word suddenly crosses a line.

Australia is hardly known for it's understanding of German, yet every Oktoberfest - or whenever we go to a Bavarian Bier Cafe, etc - we all cry out Prost or, less often, Zum Wohl! You don't have to *know* German to know this answer.

I think I've taken a quiz about toasts in various languages. Didn't help though, I forgot Prost.

Salud might be easier.

How is Doppelgänger a synonome for twin? Though a lot of twins look a like that's not always the case. Maybe sibling would be a better fit?

Not really - sibling doesn't imply twin. The meaning is fairly obvious as it is.

Well people say they look like twins and things like that, meanng they look a lot alike, and not that they actually think they were separated at birth

I personally wouldn't say doppelganger & twin are synonyms.

From Merriam-Webster:

twin (noun):

2. one of two persons or things closely related to or resembling each other

doppelgänger (noun):

1a. a living person that closely resembles another living person

Seem like pretty similar meanings to me.

Lightning is not a synonym for fire. Blaze, inferno, etc. would be much better/more appropriate here. That was the only one I missed as I could not figure out what a synonym for lightning would be.

But it actually does make sense because the phrase "lightening bug" is synonymous with "firefly"
