Fun quiz. I roared at the witty fourth choices. You made my day..."a rolling stone gathers no Beatles fans." ![]()
I missed #10 also. You would think that being in the soup would mean being in trouble or behind. You learn something new everyday LOL! ![]()
I guess I am not the only one to miss #10--I never did work in a restaurant, only fast food as a teen! If I was as smart as Montie317 and related the theme, I might of got 11/11 instead of 10/11. Oh well, great quiz!
A+ ! I got all the idioms right. Does that make me an accomplished idiomist? It sounds better than idiot. I have heard the Top Chef folks talking about bing "in the weeds." If you were on "Seinfeld" and you were "in the soup" it might be a good thing - you may have qualified to have soup from the "Soup Nazi". ![]()
In the weeds??? I've never heard of that expression, either (makes it sound as if they're lost). I've only heard about soup. The rest was too easy, but I like the quiz. I work in a supermarket and in a dept. store outlet---wish someone would come up with expressions like that for these lines of work. ![]()

I had never heard of #10 either, but guessed and picked weeds.....I knew it had to be weeds or ocean because of the quiz title. ![]()
10/11... same as others on "weeds" vs. "soup". Awesome quiz. Two thumbs up!
This was my 1st easy easy easy 100%!! Of course wait staff are in the weeds, haven't you all kept up with the great Waiter Rant blog?!
To look at the question, and wasn't familiar with the phrase,you have to analyze. The question refers to cooking, so you most likely think of soup, but all the answers must be some form of nature, so the correct assumption has to be weeds!! The author put the cooking scenario in their to intentionally throw off the quiztakers, and it worked!! KUDOS To Them

Apart from the Weeds question they were all great. Never heard anyone say - a hockey puck, make it cry, keep off the grass, and give it legs -
in England.
