It's that "j" sound that really messes you up, isn't it?

Only missed toboggan. I could see it in my mind, but the word just wouldn't connect to my fingers.

I only got shagged from a funny story one of my teachers told me once. The shag was an extremely popular dance in the '70s and early 80s here in the US, and back then my teacher (long before she was my teacher) lived in Australia for a year during high school. One time at a social gathering a couple of her Aussie friends casually asked her what she liked to do for fun and she said, "Well, my boyfriend and I love to shag. In fact we've taught several lessons back home!" As you can imagine, everyone in the room got quiet and stared at her :)

I'm sure the Alabama song, "Dancin', Shaggin' on the Boulevard" left people wondering, too. :)

And of course the bird, similar to a cormorant I believe, which goes by the same name as the sex act and the dance.

should the clue for Ziggurat read 'Terraced pyramid of ancient Mesopotamia' (as in without the n) or 'Ancient Mesopotamian terraced pyramid.' it doesn't make sense at the moment.

You show a picture of geese in flight, in which case the group noun is "Skein". It's only a gaggle when the geese are on the ground. Sorry, just being pedantic.

I had 4 minutes to come up with juggernaut and failed. In hindsight, it's a bad definition. A powerful, overwhelming force, yes, but not unstoppable.

When I grew up a large lorry was a juggernaut. I suppose the reason it was called it escaped me for answering this quiz, sigh. And it is a good reason they weren't really juggernauts as even big lorries do need to be stoppable to be a) safe and b) useful.
