I have never come across the word rube in over 50 years of speaking and reading English, so I've learned a new word today.

You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Tolerated?

It is a nickname for Reuben, but no idea why that name was connected to a country bumpkin. Back when 98% of the population lived on farms, I'm not sure why a popular given name was singled out to disparage.

The German word for turnip has the "rube" sound in it. Considering the phrase seems to have become popular at about the time a lot of German/Germanic immigration to America, non-German speakers might have used to mean "dumb as a turnip".

maybe but that seems quite farfetched, atleast randonly put together. And it is very common for one name to stand for something ( why is jack always singled out, why joe, etc)

This was a challenging one. It's hard to guess the wanted word when you don't even know what the definition means. I'm not complaining though, it's always nice to learn something new.

I love the quiz (I got a perfect score! Words are my thing), but I gotta ask: why did you accept "yahoo" for "yokel"? Yahoo, not ending in "L", doesn't chain onto "lunar". Yes, I am accusing you of being too lenient. Nice change of pace, eh?

I didn't know the end was supposed to chain, but that'd be nice.

The least-guessed answer was tough for me (shocking, I know). "rascal" and "scamp" both gave me the impression of a child, but the answer is not a word I associate with children.

I didnt think of kids, but words like that have near endless synonyms, all perhaps with a tiny different feel. Same with synonyms for good, awesome, great fantastic super, you can go on forever. I got it though. But I get why people found it had, because it is such a broad spectrum (yes, limited by starting with an r)

For SURE! It was the only one I missed, and I had at least a minute and a half to get it - knew the first and last letters - and STILL couldn't get there. I think because I associate "rascal" and "scamp" with kids, too.

Same. I only got it by focussing on "Scoundrel" - the answer required really isn't a synonym of the other two.

After Tryst, which I never got, I completely lost pace and it made the quiz much harder.

I was IRATE that I could not get the angry question, and I just read the comment that this was a Chain quiz. Double face palm for me.

"Slang for zero" should include the answer "zip".

"Zip" is neither five letters, nor ends in H. Otherwise, good point.

Only reason I got the last one was because of a song from The Simpsons.... "Some folk'll never eat a skunk, but then again some folk'll, like Cletus the...."

This quiz has quite a lot of words which I as a non-native english speaker never heard of.

Now I know, that a rube/bumpkin ma also be called a yokel, but I still have no idea what it is, even with 3 different words for it.

Zilch for zero? Never heard of that one.

Tryst? Wtf?

Livid means angry? mkay...

Wharf? I would have guessed that's a Klingon name...

Well all of them are pretty common, except for tryst, which I've never heard of
