Sayings About Animals #1

14/20. I don't know my animals.

20 of 20...got stuck on rabbit for over a minute!

For the rabbit one, I couldn't get past the animal as being an 'ass', which probably says more about me than this quiz.

Hahaha! That made me laugh. :)

20/20

Thanks to Harry Potter for "Bee in your Bonnet", I'd never heard that before reading the books

Early bird gets the worm, but the early worm gets.............

eaten

17/20

Always heard "stubborn as a bull". Huh. Guess I'm wrong.

We have it stubborn as a donkey/ass around here... and elephant in the china shop.

At least, bull got you a freebie then.

i always heard stubborn as an ox

Early bird gets the worm, second mouse gets the cheese.

If you don't get it, after the mouse trap has been activated, the second mouse gets the cheese :P! So it's not good to always be the early bird D:!

Can't donkey be used along with mule?

A mule is the offspring of a donkey and a horse- they're not the same thing.

I’ve always heard donkey too.

It's definitely "headless chicken" - no-one (in UK at least) would say a chicken with its head cut off.

Nice game!!!

Same, which makes me think it probably is a saying somewhere.

Good quiz, though now I'm going to have They Might Be Giants in my head for the rest of the day. ♫ Not to put too fine a point on it / say I'm the only bee in your bonnet / Build a little birdhouse in your soul.... ♪

Aaaa!!! Sweet picture of the darling little bird. Quiz good too!!!

It is water off a camels back... I have never heard of water off a ducks back in my life...

Google it.

It's the last straw that broke the camel's back.......

Also, would someone please explain why "water off a camel's back" makes sense? "Like water off a duck's back," which is very common in America as a way of saying that a person was not affected by something bad that was aimed at them, makes sense because ducks secrete oil with which they cover their feathers, and then water runs right off their feathers, making it much easier for them to swim. Does it work the same way for a camel, or does the expression mean something slightly different?

20/20 with 2:29 left

100% Easy

100% with 3:06 left on the clock. Apparently I've been associating with too many people who use popular sayings to communicate!

I guessed like five of them and still got 100%.

Done with 1:53 left

My parent's always said stubborn as a donkey D: All this time...

I did it 3 or 4 times and eventually finished with 3 minutes 20 seconds left over, 100% and a boost to Level 5!

I have some suggestions: 'a partridge in a pear tree', and 'the straw that broke the camel's back'

Got 18

A shop that sells china ceramics usually has all plates, jugs, cups etc. all around on little tables and stands, imagine having a large bull on the loose in the shop....... so anyone clumsy, bumping into things or tripping over objects is 'Like a bull in a china shop'.

That too!

Maybe it's a bull elephant. :)

that's just a regular mouse...

One of the easiest quizzes I've taken. Got 23 of them in less than a minute then spent the next minute getting "bee in bonnet".

got 19/20. even got pearls before swine. didn't get water off a duck's back...

Funny, in Dutch we have a saying that translate to "like an elephant in a China cabinet".

I like that one. Okay if this American borrows it?

In German the saying translates to: Like an elephant in a porcelain shop.

it's the same in Czech

"Like a chicken with its head cut off"? Isn't the more common phrase "Like a headless chicken"?

Not in the US.

LOVE the picture at the top!

took me 42 seconds LOL

Isn't it stubborn as an ass? Not the cuss though (;

Good quiz, thanks!

The Mythbusters put two of these sayings to the test and debunked them both. Firstly, they tried to shoot fish in a barrel, and it turned out to be incredibly difficult. And secondly, they let bulls loose in a makeshift china shop only to have them run down the aisles without breaking a single thing.

Only 51 for fox?
