    This was much harder than I expected. Quite a few words I was unfamiliar with. Even still, it was enjoyable. 13/20

    62, totally English since the year dot, been on Countdown, and I only got 13 :( Certainly we've only ever used schadenfreude. Zonk, in the form zonked, is more commonly used to mean "very tired", as in "I was completely zonked out".

    Bibble labeled as a noun then the definition says its a verb. Some of the acceptable definitions are not correct.
