Probably it's not considered a religion.

Confucianism is not really a religion so much as it is just traditional Chinese philosophy, beliefs, and values, as described by Confucius. It blends with all other religions in China and is sort of just taken for granted as common knowledge or conventional wisdom. and though Confucius is revered as a great teacher he's not really properly worshipped.

Elvis the Pelvis probably before The King. Quizmaster must not be old enough to remember.

that was my first try aswell. Because of the description nickname, my mind went there. And yea king is/could be considered a nickname aswell, but it used so often, it nearly feels as a synonym/title.

Not saying the answer should be changed or anything. Just explaining how my mind worked and how a certain description can make you think in a specific direction.

Yes, before remembering "King" I tried "Elvis the Pelvis", "The Pelvis" and "Pelvis".

"Couisine"? Not at all! If you write "cuisine" (the right word for it), it is accepted.

It is more accurate to say that China "recognizes" these religions rather than "allows". They tolerate them as long as followers play by the rules. China does not allow the free practice of religion the way the US does (or claims to do).

The metatarsal one tripped me up. I kept trying different toes thinking they were the toe bones, but looked it up afterwards and it's attached to the toe bones but definitely in the foot and not the toe.

It's still three words, Nuagoo is right. Technically, "it's" is a contraction of two words, it's not a word.

Tay Tay has to be one of the most cringeworthy nicknames ever chosen. The individuals who refer to Taylor Swift by that horrible epithet are not her fans nor her friends, but her mortal enemies. It is far more respectful to refer to Taylor Swift as Swifty, Stretch or Legs than to call her Tay Tay.

It seems to be a Southern thing to take the first syllable and repeat it. I knew a little girl named Sarah and a friend, a professional nanny, called her Say-Say. I hate it.

"It's alive" are actually three words, since "it's" is a contraction of two words: "It is alive"...

Y'know it's much easier to get "Cairo" when you read the clue as Giza instead of Gaza. I really need to clean my glasses.
