i cant belive i knew that
Good teaser. I didn't recognize one of the names therefore, didn't come up with correct answer.
This was easy but I did however had too think.
Ok, I like country, and I'm a US citizen and I had no clue who ANY of those people were. Yikes!
Hahaha...thats a preety good one Mr. SmartyPants...and i actually knew who Francis Marion was...without looking it up!!!
Please do not abuse the English language. The teaser specifies a "unique attribute". Since more than one person shares the attribute, it's not unique. Even allowing "unique" to apply to your general class, you'd have to list every generally-known person who had a nickname including "fox". As it is, "Silver Fox" was a general term of appreciation long before Charlie adopted it.
I thought that it was a good teaser. Keep up the good work.
