Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. No where in the Christian definition of grace does it mention forgiveness. Usually something like "bestowal of blessings'

I've never heard of a drunk person being referred to as being lush. Could just be a US thing, I suppose.

I've never heard the term used either, despite having lived in the U.S. my entire life. Perhaps it's regional? I can only speculate.

In that case, it tends to be used as a noun - "S/He's a lush" as opposed to an adjective.

I live in the midwest US and I've heard it from my older, boomer family members. Not something I've heard anyone younger than about 50 say, so I think it's a phrase that's dying out a bit. My mom always says, "You lush!" if I get drunk lol.

Narrow inlet is a pretty inaccurate way to describe a sound. At least where I live in NC, a sound is very large oceanic inlet, much larger than a fjord and even a bay.

and bay could also be a noise, as in baying hounds

I have to agree, for instance: Puget Sound covers 1.6 million acres and has 2,500 miles of shoreline.

Fun quiz, as usual. but to pick a nit, a locomotive is just the engine. The train includes all the cars that trail behind (or in front of) the locomotive. That's where train of a dress comes from - because it trails behind.
