In case some of you-all want to try. I did poorly, as expected.
Etymologic!

Seven out of ten (including three lucky guesses).

poorly here, too.

I refuse to give my score least you all think me a braggart.

Nine - I missed the language of origin of "panda".

nine(9) out of ten. (blew the very last question, under heavy pressure : )

I did lousy on the first attempt, and a little better on a second game. It seemed more like etymology trivia with an emphasis on the quirky.

It's not the same every time, but I got 7/10 both times I've tried so far. AHD, however, disagrees with them on "hush puppy".

8/10 and humbling.

Ugh, I did very poorly also - 5 out of 10.

Whereas I felt chuffed with my 8/10, and discovering that I've matched your score has merely increased the cranial expansion my score caused.

It's fun, but variable - anything from 10 to 7 for me over 5 tries.

But er, spelling errors?!?!

What did palooka originally mean?
* An inferior or average boxer
* A Peasant or freeholder
* A sense of numbness
* A lamenation or complaint

On three different attempts, 7 right, 6 right, 8 right.
