I don't believe the tea/beer is analogous. Earl Grey is a blend of tea, while Pilsner is related to the process of brewing beer.

either way you want to distinguish it...earl grey is still a TYPE of tea, and pilsner is a TYPE of beer

Pilsner is a type of lager, which is a type of beer. Several types of beer are associated with their processes - steam beers for example - but they are still types of beer.

since I can't reply to JM or CardinalSin

no, just no. never ever have I ever heard anyone categorize pilsener to lager (I am from Germany, so this came up in school) Pilsener and Lager are different entities, they might share similarities, but they are different, and if you buy beer in germany, they are either labeled as such (or what else there is)

@thorongil true, in German. But in English lager is a generic term that covers a load of different beer types, including Pilsner (and Kölsch, and Helles, and Export, etc, etc).

Earl Grey is a blend of tea that traditionally has applied only to black teas that contain oil of bergamot as a flavouring.

So, tell me what is the blend associated with pilsner beer.

a lightly kilned malt often called a pilsner malt can be blended with another light malt, with saaz hops and using a lager yeast.

If you must know

PUCK applies to ICE hockey. BALL should also be an accepted answer, as this applies to FIELD hockey, which is simply called hockey in much of the world.

Much of the world plays field hockey? I thought that was just one more in the long list of excuses to give out medals for sports nobody had ever heard of in the summer olympics. Or something for girls to do in high school. Meanwhile hockey, a.k.a. ice hockey, is like the national sport of Canada and Russia and also very popular in the USA, Scandinavia, and Eastern European countries.

because nobody cares about field hockey. If every country fields a team of amateurs then of course it will be competitive.

South Asia is quite obsessed with field hockey, among other places, while ice hockey is obviously quite limited to countries with proper winter. What is just "hockey" depends on the country. Field hockey appeared 12 years before ice hockey at the Olympics. Even IIHF uses "ice hockey". Just because you don't know anything about a sport, it doesn't mean it's like quidditch.

I was just going to say that. India (and South Asia in general) always thinks of hockey as field hockey, not ice hockey. As a matter of fact, India has more won more Olympic medals in field hockey than in any other sport, which is saying something since India isn't know for its athletics. Considering that South Asia accounts for one-fourth of the global population, I think it's fair to assume that field hockey has a pretty significant following.

Jul 8, 2021
Thanks for the change. I'm from a part of the world (Australia) where "hockey" is always field hockey, and ice hockey is something that people watch every 4 years at the Olympics.

As a (field) hockey player myself, I would have gone ball before puck, and thought it just as obvious as you find it to go the other way.

Can you accept lager for the Pilsner one as well as beer?

I agree. I first put lager, because pilsner is a type of lager, which is a type of beer.

In my mind it's right as it is, Earl grey is a type of flavoured tea which is a type of tea overall. Pilsner is a type of Lager which is a type of beer overall. Tea > Beer, it works.

Recently I got confused about "Kilimanjaro". Is that the name of the mountain range or of the mountain/volcano that has three different peaks? What is the difference between "mountain mass" and "mountain range"? Can somebody clear that up for me?

Anyway, could you also accept "Kibo" as the name of the highest summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, which is therefore the highest peak in Africa?

+2
Level 83
Dec 19, 2020
Range is usually a string or group of clearly distinct mountains. Kilimanjaro is quite obviously just one mountain when you look at it. Kibo is one of three cones with crater, Uhuru Peak is actually the highest peak on its rim.

Why would you intend it to be wrong? A male chicken is a rooster. A male cattle is a bull. There is no such thing as a male cow. A cow is a female cattle (or elk, or elephant...). A hen is a female chicken (or other birds).

"Shero" is also a synonym for heroine (without the extra baggage of sounding like an illicit drug), is in Webster's dictionary, and has been around since 1836. It should be accepted for the "Hero is to ____" one.

But Hollywood isn't a city. It's a neighborhood. And it has more to do with the entertainment industry really. So, I don't think Mumbai works in the same way. But I could be wrong.

You didn't specify which type of ball is for 'soccer', should have been football as it isn't played with a rugby ball or a tennis ball, plus it's 'football' :)

Aug 21, 2021
I don't see your point, regardless of what type of ball you use for soccer or football, you use a puck for ice hockey, doesn't matter what type of ball because the important information is that it's the object you move around in the sport to score.

Bollywood isn't the Indian film industry. It is the Hindi language industry and India also has other movie industries such as-

1. Tollywood- It refers to both the Telugu language and Bengali language film industry.

2. Sandalwood- It is the Kannada language movie industry.

3. Kollywood- The tamil film industry

4. Mollywood- It is the Malayalam movie industry.

Along with the above, there are also the Bhojpuri, Marathi and more too.
