Types of Things #5

Nice and easy. Thank you.

That was fingerpainting ;)

I knew stiletto as a heel and a pen knib. I assumed the heel was named after the nib.

I am shocked that meotropetriglyph finds these art terms obscure at all. Anyone with a cursory interest would know at least two.

The fandango in Bohemian Rhapsody isn't a dance. It's the struggles of a hanged man.

Oh my, the compound fracture!

It's hard to imagine someone knowing the word "knuckleball" and not knowing the word "pitch".

Quite logical in my opinion. Recognising a word or suspecting where it is from, isnt the same as really knowing it. (Like i guessed the yoga right and I have never even heard of any of them). I have heard of baseball, have even heard of fastball and i see them throwing a ball.

Argh, kept trying bowling, baseball bowling, throwing, baseball throw.... forgot Americans call it pitching!

Couldn't the angle question also be traingle?

Nope, they're all angles. If it was 'equilateral, isosceles, scalene', then triangle would be correct

I'm in favour of this. I wasn't familiar with these terms, but from movies, I know that "something"ball often refers to a way of throwing a ball. And I don't see why you have to specifically write "pitch", when a pitch is a throw.

I second this, I tried variations of throwing and effect. If you are not american, (definately when english isn t your language) it is almost impossible to get/know.

I do know there is a pitcher and a catcher though. But I see them throwing the ball

Please don't accept throw for pitch. Tell quiz takers this is how you learn.

For Acute, obtuse and right also please accept triangle. It works the same... :(
