Question 121


X is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel.
In the musical, in the second act, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the female protagonist Julie Jordan, sings X to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, kills himself to avoid capture during a failed robbery. It is reprised in the final scene to encourage a graduation class of which Louise (Billy and Julie's daughter) is a member. Billy watches this ceremony during his return to earth.
The song is also sung at association football clubs around the world, where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on matchday; this tradition began at Y in the early 1960s and later spread to several other clubs

Question 120


The phrase has been described  as an "unspoken male pact that for centuries can never be broken". In short, if you were there you may discuss the events, but if you were not there, you get nothing. In contrast, some people describe the phrase as, particularly funny, embarrassing or debauched moments that are for consumption only by the tourists themselves and not casual listeners back home.
It is believed that the phrase originated in 1970 during an overseas rugby union trip, and quickly cascaded into many other sporting codes such as cricket and football. The phrase has subsequently evolved into a "code of honour" amongst those males participating in the trip or tour. Many groups or teams travelling interstate or overseas have adopted the phrase, that mainly relates to sexual conquests and binge drinking. However, the phrase can also relate to other forms of unacceptable behaviour and etiquette..

Answer : Its a phrase of the form - What happens in X stays in X
for example all of you would have heard of this - What happens in Vegas  stays in Vegas

Question 117


X  was born on July 6, 1947 in Bowie, Arizona, to a Native American father and an Italian American mother .  X enlisted in the United States Army at the age of 17 on August 6, 1964. After graduating from Rangeford High School in 1965, his military service began in January 1966. X was deployed to South Vietnam in September 1966. He returned to the U.S. in 1967 and began training in the Special Forces (Green Berets) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In late 1969, X was re-deployed to Vietnam. In November 1971, he was captured by North Vietnamese forces near the Chinese-Vietnamese border and held at a POW camp, where he and other American POWs were repeatedly tortured.X escaped captivity in May 1972, but was then re-deployed. At some point in his military career he also apparently received training in flying helicopters. X received his military discharge on September 17, 1974.
Upon his return to the U.S., X discovered that many American civilians hated the returning soldiers from Vietnam, and he himself along with other returning soldiers were subject to humiliation and embarrassment by anti-war "hippies" who throw garbage at them, call them "baby killers", and exclude them from society. His experiences in Vietnam and back home resulted in an extreme case of post-traumatic stress disorder of a sort that does not seem to have ever manifested in reality. At the same time, inner questions of self identity and reflectiveness cause X to lash out at society rather than handling difficult situations in a "civilized" manner.

Question 104


Gyokusai  literally "shattered jade", is a Japanese euphemism for suicide attack, or suicide in the face of defeat (seppuku). It is based on a quote of the 7th century Classical Chinese text Book of Northern Qi, "A great man should die as a shattered jewel rather than live as an intact tile." It was applied to a conception of honorable death in defeat by Saigō Takamori (1827–1877), and employed as a slogan ichioku gyokusai  "one hundred million broken jewels" by the Japanese government during the last months of the Pacific War, when Japan faced invasion by the Allies. Some of the precepts for this belief also came from Tsunetomo Yamamoto's Hagakure, a well-known 18th-century treatise on bushido.
Allied troops during World War II called massed infantry attacks by the Imperial Japanese Army, "X charges" or "X attacks" because the assaulting Japanese infantrymen yelled "X!" as they charged the Allied soldiers. The "X" a battle cry to the fighting unit making the charge, was a gesture of courage to follow the attack through. In the Japanese language "X" , literally "ten thousand years", is a common exhortation of long life or celebration in Japan, essentially wishing for something or someone to persevere for eternity. During World War II,Tennōheika X!  literally "Ten thousand years to the Emperor" became a Japanese battle cry during charges, and was thus taken up by their Allied opponents. The term was seldom used in this way by the Japanese.
