Question 134

I have been extremely uninspired the past week and also have my exams coming up , so sorry
Anyway here goes:


There are several theories about the origin of the term . It may have been derived from the slang Arabic  meaning "aggressive boasting, bragging", or  meaning "rejected". Roughly translated, it means "swagger," but can also be translated as "boldness, bravado". In reference to a man,  in 19th century when using it to a male it meant  ambiguous, signifying a bully, arrogant but also fearless, enterprising, and proud . In reference to a woman, however, the feminine-form adjective  meant  beautiful and attractive.
Name this term 




Answer : Mafia..

Question 133 : The Curse of the......

In 1985, much to Japanese people's surprise, the Hanshin Tigers faced the Seibu Lions and took their first and only victory in the Japan Series

The fan base went wild, and a riotous celebration gathered at Ebisubashi Bridge in Osaka. There, an assemblage of supporters yelled the players' names, and with every name a fan resembling a member of the victorious team leapt from the bridge into the waiting canal. However, lacking someone to imitate MVP Randy Bass, the rabid crowd seized a plastic statue of X  nearby and tossed it off the bridge as aneffigy.

This impulsive maneuver was to cost the team greatly, beginning the Curse of the X. Urban legend has it that the Tigers will not win the championship again until the statue is recovered. Subsequently, numerous attempts have been made to recover the statue, often as a part of a variety TV show. Most of the statue was recovered in March, 2009.

Because of this curse the Hanshin Tigers have had an 18 Year Loosing Streak!!!!!

Name this curse.....

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

Answer : You'll Never Walk Alone... 

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
