[naomi24]

Another one that doesn't work.  The contestant didn't know what any of the words mean so took a guess.  No shame in that.  

[ToraToraTora]

every school kid knows the interregnum, surely!

//every school kid knows the interregnum, surely!//

I think you overestimate the knowledge of today's school kids!

[naomi24]

Why?  If they don't know they don't know.

[davebro3]

none of those words are in common usage nowadays

[ToraToraTora]

It is basic history though I suppose they've stopped teaching that now but I'd expect the more senior ones of us to know that.

[Ken4155]

I would have got the answer correct, TTT, and i also know the meaning of internecine. But i must confess that i've just had to look up interregnum. And i do consider myself to be reasonably well educated.

 

[naomi24]

I think you have to concede this isn't a contender, TTT.

[ToraToraTora]

think what you like love, feel free to ignore these if they disturb you so much.

[naomi24]

TTT, Will you please stop calling me 'love' whenever to take umbridge.  

[ToraToraTora]

Through many of these and by your own evaluation we have established that you have very limited knowldge. Fair enough but why do you assume that of everyone else?

[naomi24]

Because I'm completely and utterly thick, TTT.

[ToraToraTora]

having little knowledge doesn't make you "thick" - yes intelligent people are often knowledgeable but the two are not the same thing.

[naomi24]

Oh the irony!  🤣

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, "Through many of these and by your own evaluation we have established that you have very limited knowldge."

Is that the royal, "we"? 

[ToraToraTora]

That was a joke was it? I thought you were being honest. Indeed, the irony!

[naomi24]

This gets funnier.  😂

[Old_Geezer]

You mean someone actually knows any of those words ? Never come up in any casual conversation I've ever had.

[TwoShortPlanks]

Nope. No clue. 

[CrapatCryptics2]

You missed one Intermilan
