Thanks for that, I wouldn't have thought of "idle". To me that is just a computer or computer process that doesn't do anything at the moment. Or you idle when you stop chatting for a bit. Started with "insolent" and then had this vibe and tried again and got it. I am also sure that I wrote something like "indigenous" but must've spelled it totally wrong.
Thought of many words for "lazy, slothful" but not the ones listed! Inept, incompetent, incapable, impossible, irresponsible....but technically those all have slightly different meanings, of course.
This quiz was fun, but for some reason for "ignorant", I guessed every word I could think of starting with I except for ignorant. I even tried "ill-informed", to no avail.
Perhaps incombustible for non-reactive in chemistry?
For inert I would have made the clue, type of gas or something like that. Atleast I would have gotten it then, case I only know the term inert in combiantion with gas. But I am sure there would be someone else making a comment about it then ;)
Invulnerable means that you're "incapable of being wounded, hurt, or damaged," which implies that you're not capable of dying. I'm embarrassed to say I was so hung up on this as being the correct answer that I overlooked the obvious, immortal. Just saying.
Invulnerable only makes you immune to physical damage, it doesn't make you immortal. You could still die from disease for example. In fact immortals may not be invulnerable, characters like Wolverine are immortal but they certainly aren't invulnerable because if you hit him hard enough he'll go unconscious.
Inoculated is not correct because you can be inoculated against the flu and still get a weakened form of the malady. Immune means that you cannot get the disease (sometimes because you've already had it and at other times because you are naturally immune to it).
Ca you please change the wording of immortal. Immortal means can't die of natural causes, like a vampire, but can still be killed. Invinsible means can't be killed.
Immortal = Lasts or lives forever (Oxford Dictionary)
Invincible (note spelling) = Too powerful to be defeated or overcome
PS There are no such beings as Vampires that cannot die of natural causes, a person can drink blood if they wish to do so but will have no special powers (apart from a strong stomach)
Maybe 'immortal' is sometimes used that way, but the general meaning is 'never dying', no matter whether that is natural causes or killed. Invincible doesn't necessarily mean 'can't be killed'. An invincible tennis player never loses a tennis match but can be killed.
Hey, QM, have you ever thought of preparing a quiz where every word in every language regardless of how it has been spelled is a correct answer to every clue in the quiz? Maybe that way everyone would be happy. Like "schnozzle wall" is acceptable for septum or twinkle butt is okay for firefly???
Please can ice house (or icehouse) be included as an alternate answer to the predecessor to the refrigerator question? Both the ice house and the icebox were non-electric methods used to keep food fresh, with the icebox being a smaller version of the house.
I learned from my grandmother. When one of us would enter a room where I assume she had been talking about us she would say, "Speak of the devil and his imps will appear."
Ohh I didn't notice that it was only words beginning with I until the end despite it being in the title wow.. Maybe I would have got more if I hadn't overlooked that part because there where quite a few words that I felt dumb for not getting at the end
It would be a nice addition ( though tons of interesting words to choose from ofcourse.) Irksome :)
Gah >_

We never had that here, in fact we don't have school nurses, not in elementary or middle/high school
