Good Teaser. Mayor and mare in my part of the country are pronounced different.
they're pronounced differently in all parts of the country!
Beyond that one I did like the rest

but in australia ant and aunt are pronounced differently. Oh well but i liked it anyway.
well in baltimore mayor is like mayr so i see how that could sound like mare bc i have lived in baltimore my whole life
Nice! i never heard of "geas" before though.
Thanks for the feedback.
I know this "Guess the Animals" wasn't as great as the first one; I guess I was starting to run out of words to use. I know the mayor one was a bit of a stretch, I was hoping it would be solveable.

Guess The Animals #3?

Guess The Animals #3?
(Do)
hmmm I'll work on it, but thinking up 10 more animals will take me some time
In my part of the country, mayor and mare is pronouced close enough to guess. Then again, I've moved several times, so I don't have one paticular accent. Anyway, good teaser!
--I've submitted a "Guess the Animals #3", awaiting approval by the editors--
very cool.
A friend of mine was having a playful debate about #6 and said u should clearify it by saying in relation to the child becuz of how it could still be a soster other than that great teaser never heard of gease tho magic huh? o well
Very clever ...the geas one stumped me Lots of fun.
very clever... I also had difficulty with the pronunciation of mayor.
And I thought that "in relation to a group of singers"-- fly (as in fly dancers)... I was thinking bands not choirs

i got mussel and ant and guessed mayor but didn't make the connection to mare. was thinking "projection from skin" was mole. i guess moles can't be "long" unless there is something wrong. good one. made me think hard.
I thought this was a good one
Got all of them but the Geas one. Mare, right away, made me smile. An easy, but fun, teaser.
GEAS? Never heard of that one either. Only other one I missed was horse. Was looking for a verb, not a noun. Was still fun guessing the others. Mar Love those animals---let's see #3.
fun!!! I enjoyed it...I got some and it made me think...great job!
Thanks for the feedback , I'll add some corrections. #3 didn't work out, it was rejected but I was suggested to resubmit it with some corrections. But I still like the first 2 better, I don't think I'll resubmit the 3rd.
I liked the teaser! I think that mare and mayor sounds close enough to guess though...
i really liked these. u should definetely resubmit #3. good luck.
hey Javian, i think you should submit #3 becuz the 1st 2 were really fun, good luck getting it submited
ok I resubmitted it
?
That was hard!!!
Guess the Animals #3 has been accepted, with some deletions.
Way to go, great teaser'ish teaser!
Very fun but kinda tricky!
An interesting and fun teaser. A little stretching at times, yes, but still a fun way to workout the animal's names.
Missed geas (geese) I was hoping that I learned a new word today, but dictionary.com doesn't have it either. Any help out there? Thanks for submitting!
That was tough. One or two were a stretch, but it was a good teaser.
I got 7 out of 10. Try Googling GEAS -- lots of hits. It's sort of a club curse.
it was great. A few of them stumped me but other than that, I got most of them. NICE ONE!!!
I'm with everyone else, got most but not all of them. Did give my brain a workout, and that is the object of this site. .
Thanks Marschie! Gotta love Wikipedia, and I learned something about Irish mythology today! Cool.
That #5 was cute!
Whew!
That was great! I had to work on this one for a while. I didn't get geese though. Oh well; Great teaser!
nice!
Goodness Gracious me, I didn't even know what GEAS was and I also missed MAYOR and CHORAL. I too kept thinking about mayors, representatives, managers, councilors, but couldn't make the connection to MARE.
Fun teaser. Got my brain revving this morning.

Liked it a lot, though I have no idea what Geas is/are. Didn't get choral... I kept thinking Choir. I also thought of orchestral, so thought maybe it was Kestral, or Orca.
Excellent. This one was tough.
didn't get the geas one. lotsa fun!
Hmmm...Mayor/Mare..How does that work?
that was a really smart one, most of these riddles are stupid, but yours was very good.
good going. I liked it.
hello....!
friends.....
friends.....
Only got about half , but i really enjoyed it. Congratulations on getting your 3rd teaser accepted. i am looking forward to it. thx,
Could get 7 out of 10. Not too bad, considering that English is not my mother tongue!
This is a very cleverly created teaser. Even Imurray has no comments!
Thanks for making us think. Could we request for more such ones, please?

Nice job. This was fun to figure out. Took me a little while, but am happy to say I won. More please?
That was fun, even though I only got 7/10 -- and English IS my mother tongue
Like most of the others, geas got me. I also missed horse and coral, though after reading the answers I had to groan because I probably should've gotten them! Good job. Off to check out #1 and #3 now!

Good one, thanks! I took a while over the ant until I remembered that we kiwis, with our pure pronunciation patterns (ha!) are a minority on the planet. Didn't know geas. Great teaser, and worthy of a re-run (before anyone complains!!!)
dalfamnest-you haven't been around long enough to make that defaming remark!!!
If you are allowed to say anything you want to because you are being "honest",then why can't dalfamnest give his own opinion. you don't have to agree but he can say things also.
I guessed aunt, ant, but they are pronounced very differently here. I didn't get geas, and for the first answer I guessed heart (hart), so I think I did pretty well.
Missed mare and geas...fun though!
Also for #3, I think Bass would work. Great teaser though, I really enjoyed it.
Good teaser. I got some, but not all. I know it is not thread like, but the only thing I could think of forming or coming out of the skin was "mole" Oh well, it was a fun one to do.
I also enjoyed it and was able to solve most of them. No idea what a Geas is though.
As with some previous posters I agree that Mare and Mayor don't sound alike (close but not like the other questions do) and I am among those who don't pronounce my mothers sister the same way as the insect, but as I am aware of that being an alternate way to pronounce it was able to get that one. To whomever thought "Bass" could be another answer to #3 - Bass could not work for the answer because as an animal it it pronounced like the word BASE and as the sound or instrument it is pronounced BAA se.

before it is pointed out to me, yes I got those sounds reversed, I edited the post to reword something and somehow rearranged what I was saying.
I am well aware of the sound being BASE and the animal being BAA se!
I really should just retype stuff instead of taking the easy way out and doing a cut and paste.

To say that "geas" is a rare word rather understates the case, and, though I am 77, with a long history of extensive reading, and usually deem vocabulary and word usage to be one of my long suits, "geas" is an entirely new one on me. Consequently, it's the only one I didn't get. Live and learn.
This might be old,but I enjoyed it. Although I thought it was easy.Need more of a challenge.
I would think another one would be easy and very simple and much better. I can think of a couple without even thinking.
1. What are you when you take off all your clothes?
2. What you do to your food when you eat too fast
Answer #1 You are bare (bear))
#2 you wolf it down (wolf)
SORRY!!

all but Geas!!
Geas? Just before I clicked answers I got Coral!!
Enjoyed it, but found no 6 & 7 to be a bit of a stretch.
Also, pronunciations are much different here in Aus.!
