Dear Quizmaster: not all of the clues made it 100% guaranteed that I would get the answer, so I'm going to be a typical JetPunk user and complain. After all, it's not as if these are quizzes, which are meant to be challenging...
She's probably not old enough :) -- first recorded use of the term is from 1837. It's slang all over the English-speaking world but it's fairly antiquated. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=sawbones
I've heard the term all my life, too, but the last time I heard it was in a West Wing episode. Donna said to Quincy, "So, you're our new sawbones?" Quincy said, "No, sawbones are doctors. Lawyers are shysters." Donna looked at Josh and said, "I got him to say it."
Stop complaining about Macca's....the quiz does't say these are THE nicknames, just that they are among them. Australia/NZ it's very common, the Quizmaster has thrown it in as a challenge. Plus us non-Americans have to put up with 'mericanisms all the time on this site ;-)
People arent complaining.. they are just saying they never heardit. Complaining is saying quizmaster you got it wrong. Or this shouldnt be on the quiz it is the wrong answer etc (in different phrasing, im not good at complaining so cant make it sound authentic hsha)
Italian Stallion is Stallone's nickname. I think he wrote it into Rocky because he liked it for the character. I guess it works, but it really is broader than just the character.
A Psychiatrist is referred to as a 'legalized pusher" pusher because, as a Medical Doctor, he is authorized to prescribe medication; a Psychologist is not and is, therefore, not allowed to prescribe.
As a theater kid I was nervous even typing the M-word for the Scottish play. We did that play in our Shakespeare club in high school and my theatre teacher left the department under mysterious circumstances.
Lol.....
seemed like the kind of science people would like..
Can you accept Rafa Benitez for Rafa too?
It's not a superstition to mess around with.
