A bayou is not a swamp, though it is often located next to one, and at times may look like one. It can be fast-moving. A bayou is a river that can change direction, usually based on tides, but sometimes just based on water levels. It can be still, slow- or fast-moving at different times.
Your definition is not the primary way that the term bayou is used in the U.S.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayou
In usage in the United States, a bayou (/ˈbaɪ.uː, ˈbaɪ.oʊ/)[1] is a body of water typically found in a flat, low-lying area, and can be either an extremely slow-moving stream or river (often with a poorly defined shoreline), or a marshy lake or wetland. The term bayou can also refer to a creek whose current reverses daily due to tides and which contains brackish water highly conducive to fish life and plankton.
I could not spell that. I knew the answer. I think I used "j" instead of "y" and then when I did use "y" I did something like "bayeux", which would have been fine if "bayeu" had been accepted... Also Caribou, why not just "caribu" or "karibu"? Couldn't figure out where I went wrong with that one.
Technically, as you spell the answer to question 15, it's a Brazilian martial art. The martial art developed by samurai in Japan uses a "u" where you expect an "i." One is derived from the other, but the original Japanese art is quite different (it includes gouging and biting).
Is that really ecru (#C2B280), or is this one of those optical illusions where the same color looks wildly different depending on what background it’s on?
Damn, that is some crazy eye tricks my dumb brain is falling for! Thanks for answering. It was definitely one of those cases where I couldn’t believe my eyes.
You can even see differences between the same colour in different browsers. Try comparing some websites on firefox vs chrome, you'll probably be able to spot some differences if you look at them side by side.
I'd say "government agency" rather than government office. It certainly doesn't refer to an office such as an elected or appointed office. It also doesn't refer to a building.
Watch 'Charlie the Unicorn 2' or the Simpsons Season 2 episode "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish". They won't teach you much about fugu fish, but you'll remember them.
"Japanese martial art that uses the force of one's adversary against them." - Should really allow 'jujutsu' not just 'jujitsu', as the former is the more accurate spelling. The Wikipedia article on the topic, for example, uses that spelling as the heading and offers 'jujitsu' as an alternative: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jujutsu
