Like others, I thought this teaser was loads of fun! Superb job. I hope you submit more teasers like this one to be puzzled by the minds of Brainglers.
This teaser was great! Maybe a bit easy, but still very fun.

Great teaser, I loved it!
I liked this teaser too.I 've heard of all the phases, even #5. It's from the '90s.....early '90s.I'll be sure to check out the other teasers ,too(I'm not positive if rough&tumble was in the early, mid, or late nineties, but i know it was in the nineties). So, If my statement is incorrect, consider this my apology in advance.

I got them all but #5, which didn't make sense.
Great one, Fish. I'm doing these backwards trying to play catch up so did #2 before this one. And sorry to say I only got three right. Great fun!

Thanks. I am glad you liked it. I was pleasantly surprised to see it on Facebook. Felt kinda cool.
Nice & Easy
I enjoyed this teaser though I think it was pretty easy for anyone whose first language is English and is likely familiar with all of these. May present a bit more of a challenge to the twenty-somethings and under (as some of these may have fallen out of usage) or those who are not native speakers.
Overall, a great teaser
