Pretty easy....
Easy but a good one
Not bad.
But so easy.
'Stuff' had me thinking for about 2 seconds...the others came to me as soon as I read the first definition.

For some reason I had a bit of trouble with this one, then I got it. I came up with "pile" for #3, tho. And thanks feste for the additional information.
No Challenge.
Missed #3 stuff.. good one.
Good teaser!!! Just hard enough to make me think this morning, but easy enough to figure it out. Fun too.
I thought #3 was "stash".

Thanks all. As to the stash/stuff, I changed the definition and that might fix that confusion.
easy but fun~love these
I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one that hit a brick wall on #3! Fun puzzle!
Stuff was the only one I didn't get. Very c l. Thanks for a chuckle.
Second time I've seen this one and it's still no challenge.But it's a good one for the kiddies.
Fun & easy, thank you, Fishmed. Had to think 1/2 a minute to get #3, but the rest I got as I read them.
I'm resisting addressing doehead.

Took a minute with #3. Great teaser!
I didn't get "stuff". The rest was easy. Good teaser.
I know it is a repeat, but I still didn't get "stuff".
like mant others I didn't get stuff.
I got those in record time, didn't even have to think about it.
Except number 3, there are multiple correct answers for that one. The two definitions given aren't even very different... they are just the noun vs. the verb form of the same basic idea. I thought it might be mash-up.

Easy teaser, guess i got the updated definition for three cause I got it almost right away with no problem.
Update on the generals, at least in the army it is brigadier, major, lieutenant then general and rarely general of the Army. Noticed major general was left out in an earlier post.

Great teaser.
I got 'mungle' for number 3, though I agree 'stuff' is better!

Nice one for the youngsters. A bit to easy for me.
I agree with Cutebug. It is an good one for kids or those new to English but for adult native speakers of the language it was pretty easy.
Nice teaser though.

Very Easy
Funny thing is when it first popped up today I looked at it and started trying to solve it, having forgotten it was mine. Glad you liked it, easy though it was.
I occasionally make pillows and stuff them. I look around my craft room and see all the stuff. Number 3 was the only one I didn't get. I was trying to work with "shove" and "junk" - then peeked and thought "of course!!" Great teaser!
Well, that did not take long. However as easy as it was, I thank the person for posting as it gave me something to do and have fun with. Nice going!
Glad you liked it.
I guessed box for #3- You box something / a box set. Can I get partial credit?
Sure, why not...
ez pz, thanks!
Glad you liked it.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I also could not get #3 "stuff" but three out of four is not too bad.
