Bacchanal is just as valid as bacchanalia and should be accepted. I kept thinking I misspelled it until I thought to try the longer version.

Couldn't beef be accepted for "pertaining to cattle"? It does pertain to cattle in my opinion...

"Pertaining to cattle" demands an adjective. "Beef" is a noun.

When you "go on a bender," you overindulge in alcohol.

A bender is not a hangover. It's when you go drinking all night.

I thought the New York Rowhouse meant Row as in argument, I tried bordello, brothel etc . I'm not sure it deserves a place in a world wide quiz.

I tried thinking of it in those terms (argument, etc.) and also in boating terms. Never occurred to me it would be what is called terraced in the UK. I used to live in NY, so should have guessed it. I got hung up on that word though.

A blog could refer to much more than just a journal, it's more of an informational website. Kind of misleading.

A blog is a weblog and a log is a journal...

Edit: If it is anything other than that, the one calling it a blog is doing the misleading

Maybe accept "baton" also for the French bread? Not quite as long, but still long and thin by other standards
