These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2018-06-04,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of What She Said and are
used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see
my 2018-07-16 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian
Inquisition (QFTCI*)".
* Game 3, Round 4 - Science - Original Dog-Breed Names
Nowadays we might look at a dog and say "that's a soft-coated
wheaten terrier", but when the Irish bred it, they originally
called it the "an brocaire buí" ["uhn BRAW-kur bwee]". In each
case, give the name we know the breed by.
1. In addition to the soft-coated wheaten terrier, the Irish people
have bred seven other breeds of dog recognized by the American
Kennel Club, the oldest of which is the "cú faoil" ["koo feel"].
What do we know that one as?
2. This dog was initially bred in France, where it is known as the
"chien de St-Hubert". What do we call it?
3. The "xolo" ["CHO-low"] is the proper name for this dog, one of
which was recently featured in the Pixar film "Coco".
4. The Chinese refer to this breed as the "songshi quan" ["song-SHE
kwan"], which translates to "puffy lion dog".
5. In Dari Persian, this dog is called the "sag-e tazi" ["SADGE-eh
TAW-zee"]; in Pashto, it is the "tazi spay" ["TAH-zee SPAY"].
6. The Azande ["ah-ZAN-"day] people of South Sudan know this dog
as the "ango angari", which means "dog of the bush".
7. In Zimbabwe, the Shona call this dog shumba imbwa ["shoom-BAH
im-BWAH"], which means "lion dog", because they used it to keep
lions at bay.
8. These dogs were originally called "alpenmastiffs", until Swiss
and German breeders in the late 19th century realized they were
not actually related to mastiffs.
9. The Germans originally called these large dogs "Kammerhunde",
and dressed them in gilded collars -- when they weren't using
them to hunt boars or even bears.
10. This Japanese breed's name translates to "little brushwood dog".
* Game 3, Round 6 - Miscellaneous - House Brands
We name a house brand and you tell us the retailer (or any one
of the group of related retailers) that exclusively sells it.
Answers may repeat.
1. Blue Menu.
2. Life Brand.
3. Kirkland.
4. Mastercraft.
5. Black Brown.
6. Irresistibles.
7. Compliments.
8. Edit by Jeanne Beker.
