I always saw the X as the lips of two people kissing from above and the O as the arms of two hugging people also from above. I can see why O would be kisses but I couldn't imagine why X would be hugs.
That reminds me, but just this past month, someone broke the world record for the longest distance travelled in a pumpkin. He “sailed” 38 miles down the Missouri River for 12 straight hours. A completely stupid world record, but very funny.
Yes, but Sherlock is best known for living there. He also lived there before John did, but in the TV series "Sherlock", John moved out of 221B when he thought Sherlock was dead.
I'm pretty sure that with XOXO. The X means hugs and the O means kisses. When you hug someone you cross your arms around them represented by an X and an O represents your lips... Maybe that's just was I was taught growing up, but you should at least except both
They shouldn't except both, there is one right answer only which is a kiss, if your sending a card to a loved one and you sign it with a kiss you put a X at the end don't you, you don't start putting O's!
I always thought the 'X' was representative of two lips kissing, i.e. > being one set of lips and < being another, and 'O' symbolises the shape your arms make when hugging someone as seen from an overhead view.
As far as this Brit is concerned XOXOXO is a new digital age phenomenon, and traditionally one always signed with kisses, xxx. The 'O's were explained to me as hugs and this seems obvious to me. Imagining 'O's represent ones lips seems to me to imply the sort of kiss you don't put on text messages!
I think if people see XOXO and hear "hugs and kisses" (the normal idiom) they assume it's in that order, but it's written like that because X=kiss came first.
Yeah, and using "Sally" instead of "she" messes it up as a tongue twister. "She sells" and "seashells" are the same two syllables, but with their beginning sounds transposed, which is what makes it difficult to say.
What? "Type" is not defined with that level of specificity. It's a general use term for distinguishing one category from others within a given context. The word "pumpkin" is itself a vernacular term, not scientific.
LOL I kept on reading Cat instead of Cattle... thus being angry cause why the hell doesn't it accept Feline ?! I was really upset until I carrefully read the question again...
I'll bring up curiosity about UK, Britain, then finally England for anglophile; but I've looked it up before, and the differences never stick in my brain.
I would also echo the sentiment of there being several glands (which are indeed organs) which start with the letter P; Perhaps adding a non-glandular addendum, or making it a 1-word organ, would help clarify? (Though the prostate gland is most often referred to as simply the prostate, so maybe the former is the better option)
Missed 2! Can’t believe I forgot Pancreas. And, for some reason, I genuinely thought of “Rome”, but didn’t think it’d be the answer. Really great quiz regardless.
pumpkin 🎃 is the biggest
