We use it in civil engineering when referring to water used in concrete mixes. We specify potable water in our mix designs.

Uhm, what? Even if you spelled it correctly (ciao), it would still be Italian, while hola is Spanish.

cioa is Italian. Chao is spanish.

'Ciao' = 'hi'/'bye' in Italian; 'chao' = 'bye' in Spanish.

'Hasta luego' ('until later') would be an even better analogy in this instance though, since it means something closer to 'au revoir' ('until the next time we see each other').

Or even 'hasta la vista' which means 'until we see each other again'. It is, in that way, more correct than the 'correct' answer.

The more accurate analogy would be as follows:

Bonjour is to Adieu as Buenos Dias is to Adios.

I've never actually heard anyone saying 'hasta la vista' outside quoting Terminator - is it a Mexican thing or something? I live in South America and have been to Spain a fair bit...

It would be perfect for the clue though.

But adios means farewell, whereas au revoir literally means "until we see each other again". Adieu would be a better French word to correspond with adios, both literally and by connotation.

I had some trouble with spelling some of the answers. Raeggae, Raggae, regge... Posseidon, Posseydon... Managed to get the first one, but after the 2 failed tries for Poseidon I thought it's just the wrong answer. I guess I have to just go with the simplest spelling next time.

How is 'Fat Bottom Girls' analogous to 'Baby Got Back'? I mean, Queen had lots of songs, so what makes this one - and not even the most popular one - different?

Never heard of Nervous Nellie - always been Nervous Ninny

Google has both Ninny originates in the 16th century Nellie in the 1920's and is an Americanism.

Both fit the question
