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.

The other thing is that brownstones are just as common and culturally meaningful in Boston as they are in New York.

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.

'Slow, romantic song', then 'wailing Irish spirit'. Sums up most relationships.

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

Could 'balustrade' or even 'baluster' be accepted for 'banister'?

Yes I tried balustrade first aswell, somehow from the dark recesses of my mind I managed to come up with banister this time (forgot I had taken it before). And figured I was mistaken that balustrade was an english word aswell.

But I looked it up. It is correct according to wiktionary. And Etymonline actually states that banister originally was a corruption of baluster and a vulgar term up until mid 19th century.

Though I guess in your defense balustrades are usually more for more level things like balconies. Something you (can) lean against.

I got bacchanalia (not on first spelling attempt though haha, I think I was trying to put an U in there. from bacchus)> But put balaklava instead of baklava... I knew it would be wrong but couldnt think of the right one.
