"bearing" and "diber" came in there too! (I've used one 'b' because if I put in 2 'b's nopesport changes the word to "SI card"; vocabularic fascism!)

why didn't that question come up when I was on the show??? I'm sure Harold and Scott wouldn't have minded it either :)

although having dog-leg as the first in the list pretty much guaranteed that someone would jump in with 'golf'...

Those of us of a certain age would have been aghast that someone call Peck should get it wrong... and it obviously spooked Durham as they sort of fell apart after that.

Had Distracted been on this show, would he have refused to answer because they used a blasphemous word?
