Bigamy just sounds wrong in this quiz because the prefix is bi-, not big-. Technically of course the letters b, i and g appear after each other and in order, but...

Bigamy should absolutely not be on this quiz. It comes from the word roots bi- and -gam-, meaning "two" and "marriage" respectively. Therefore, the word actually has nothing to do with the word "big." That's like including "sparring" in a Types of Rings quiz.

Are you sure it's not big ami (love)? There was that show on the subject called Big Love. Could have been a translation.

Come on. You guessed the right answer, right? All the instructions say is that the word "big" is in the answer. It does not say that big has to be a morpheme.

Disappointed not to see Big Bad John. One of the least appreciated recent American folk songs.

I'd like that one as well as Big Bopper, but I never thought it was a folk song. Jimmy Dean wrote and sang it in the early '60s, and it was played on my same hometown radio station that played Elvis. I think it was considered a country song back then, but it crossed over onto the pop or rock charts - whatever they were called back then.

Didn't get big mac because didn't know what the patty was. I make patties with sausagemeat,onions, garlic, cheese and herbs. Therefore not a bigmac. What do others think?

In this case the description is loosely based on the McDonald's Big Mac sandwich jingle, "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a Sesame Seed Bun". Definitely some gray area on this one.

It's funny because as someone not from the USA, I associate "patties" only with Big Macs! (And the Spongebob burgers of course)

This is just because of USA social media I think, but it's the only time I hear the word patty. The "burger" refers to the meat itself and the burger is placed within the bun (like how the hamburger originally was a type of steak).

It would be a better clue if it matched the song. It currently reads "Two patties, special sauce, ..." but "Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, ..." would be a better fit.

What about "bigshot" for the last one? The one that is 'bigwig'? Could that work too?

No, because shot obviously doesnt have anything to do with toupee or hair.

Suddenly "Little Bighorn" makes much more sense...

I'm obviously not American, and I was lazy enough not to check that, always thought "silly native American names..."

The Little Bighorn is a tributary of the Bighorn River, which I assume was named for the sheep.

A "big fish" is not the "ruler", but instead the most powerful or dominant party of the group. For example, a child with above average intelligence might choose to go to a below average school to be the "big fish in a small pond". That child will not be the ruler, but they will be the most intelligent amongst their cohort. As opposed to going to a top performing school where they will be a small fish.

Colloquially "rule" could refer to this; someone might describing a sports team as "ruling the conference" but not mean they're literally in a position of leadership.
