You can't say, "have you got some quid?" and mean currency? In the same way an American might say, "I spent a few bucks on bibimbap in Seoul this morning"... meaning... a small amount of money... even though one buck is usually understood as one US dollar.

Yes, you can't say "have you got some quid?". I'm not sure "have you got some bucks?" sounds right either, does it? But you can say "I spent a few quid on bibimbap in Seoul this morning".

Quite right 'Metope', some punkers don't realise that every alternate answer has to be entered in by the quiz maker when building the quiz. Sometimes the alternatives can be 10 or 20 different entries, and then someone else will comment 'How about so/and/so for this question!

I'm not sure "body part" is really an accurate description for mustache. I wish I could think of something else with which to replace it (one that doesn't give it away), but I think that's the main reason the % guessed correct is so low on that one. Arms, legs, organs, muscles - those are all integral to the function of the body. A pile of hair and toenail clippings would never be called a pile of "body parts".

Agree - while you can't deny that hair is part of the body, it sounds weird (in American English, at least) to call a mustache, or any other human hair, a "body part."

All I could think of was quality control. They really tighten production, whereas an accountant just keeps track of money no matter how poorly spent or erratic the record keeping is.

Me neither, I always thought it was a term that meant to give up trying something because you know it's not going to work. I don't think I've ever heard it used in a context where it would mean to die.

Well, take 'ghost' to mean, say, 'soul'. When you die, most cultures believe that it leaves your body. So, you're giving up the ghost.

You have to add 1 before pound... Which is odd as it's technically not 'one word' for the answer.

The first thing that came to mind for "the clink", was CenturyLink Field (home of the Seahawks) considering that it goes by the same name in Seattle. Probably too specific to one city, but maybe consider adding it as an acceptable answer.

Please accept sneakers for shoes. I definitely hear that term applied more to athletic footwear over dress footwear.
