I thought the Playboy Mansion was the happiest place on earth

When is he ever called "The Beib"? Lol.....

@imryan94, yeah I thought he was called Biebs, not that I'm paying any attention...

I'm called both of those...don't ask why

Never heard David Beckham called Becks.

He and his wife are commonly referred to as posh and becks

Where is McDonald's called Macca's? it isn't in the US, that's for sure. is that a European thing? Over here it's Mickey D's.

I'm American and we call it McNasty :D

definitely Australia, Maccas generally have a servo located near them too.

In New Zealand it is both Maccas and MickeyDs.

Agreed

Fab Four (Liverpool lads), Rafa (Benitez) and Macca (Steve McManaman)....nice Merseyside flavor to this one! YNWA

Dear Quizmaster: not all of the clues made it 100% guaranteed that I would get the answer, so I'm going to be a typical JetPunk user and complain. After all, it's not as if these are quizzes, which are meant to be challenging...

Sawbones must also be an Australian thing. My wife is a surgeon here in the US and she's never heard that term before.

She's probably not old enough :) -- first recorded use of the term is from 1837. It's slang all over the English-speaking world but it's fairly antiquated. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=sawbones

I've heard the term all my life, too, but the last time I heard it was in a West Wing episode. Donna said to Quincy, "So, you're our new sawbones?" Quincy said, "No, sawbones are doctors. Lawyers are shysters." Donna looked at Josh and said, "I got him to say it."

I'm from Australia, and the only place I remember hearing it was an episode of the West Wing.

missed 2...sawbones and the face that launched a 1000 ships

Stop complaining about Macca's....the quiz does't say these are THE nicknames, just that they are among them. Australia/NZ it's very common, the Quizmaster has thrown it in as a challenge. Plus us non-Americans have to put up with 'mericanisms all the time on this site ;-)

+1 Go SpankyMcFabulous!!!!!

Is it possible to accept Sylvester Stallone instead of Rocky Balboa?

The Sweet Science and a Rocky reference! I love seeing boxing on these quizzes!

I got Macca's by guessing. But I think the Italian Stallion refers to Stallone not the character because of the last name.

After reading the comments, I don't think I will ever forget Maccas means McDonalds.

Never heard of Macca's but heard of "Maccy Ds", here in England. Can you accept Rafa Benitez for Rafa too?

Italian Stallion is Stallone's nickname. I think he wrote it into Rocky because he liked it for the character. I guess it works, but it really is broader than just the character.

Sure, but the question is "Fictional character nicknamed 'The Italian Stallion,'" to which "Rocky Balboa" is the only correct answer.

Accept Jughashvili for Man of Steel?

Except that, as with Stallone, Stalin is real and the clue indicates a fictional character.

Always thought psychologist = shrink as psychiatrist is essentially a legalized pusher. Or maybe I've studied the stuff in wrong schools/books...

I haven't heard of most of these, including Ireland, where I live
