2. Re (maybe?)
4. Rome

Am not good on collective nouns. Something similar to "Play it again, Sam" is said in Casablanca, but not that exact wording. I fancy there was a film with that as it's title but I don't know anything beyond that.

Hey T1000. Rome is correct

Re wasn't the answer I was looking for, but it is correct. I didn't actually mean prefix, I meant what word can come before, which isn't quite the same thing. But you get bonus points for answering a harder question. 🙂

And what do points mean????

Prizes. Except on driving licenses. Then they mean bans.

If 'Re' wasn't quite the badger then mebbe 'Out'?

Out was indeed the badger I was looking for. And the stoat, weasel, and any other of britains wild-living mammals. Glad you're enjoying it. I just wish that people who are smarter than me wouldn't put questions on it as well. I can only dish it out.

1. Since dolphins are like fish, but bigger and cleverer I reckon (knife thrust in low light conditions here) that it would be not a school, but a university of dolphins
3. 'Play it again Sam' is like 'beam me up Scotty', it was never actually said in Casablanca, although it may have been used in a spoof film since, but none that I can think of.

Nice turn of phrase there jimmyb. The university of dolphins is wrong, although the answer to 3 is correct in that it was never said in casablanca. Come on, someone must know the film.

1. pod

2. I know there is a Woody Allen film called "Play it Again, Sam." But I never actually saw it, so i don't have any idea if the line is in the movie too.

Happy holidays fellers and femalers.

1. give both terms for a group of quail ("flock" is not one of them).
2. what do you call a group of operating companies, according the the unix "quiz" feature?
i forgot to answer these earlier.
one answer to 1 ("covey" ) has been provided already. the other answer is bevy.
for 2, remember that unix was developed by bell labs. the answer the quiz gave was at&t or bell system.

the answer is rhinoceros.

its four plural forms are: rhinoceros, rhinoceroses, rhinocerotes, and rhinoceri.
this was another from "language on vacation".
the last two are very seldom used, and the second is not common.
