Wristlet and "Favicon" were new ones on me. Was annoyed at ghee, as it asked what the "thing" was. not what it contained. Toggle I was OK with, although I've never heard it on its own in that context, just as a modifier, i.e. "toggle switch".

Where I come from (in UK) a toggle is like a bead on a jacket cord, so you don't lose the end.

Ghee is total nightmare. It looks like wax. And I have no idea what the endives are. Haven't seen such thing for sale...

"What is this thing" in question 3 (ghee): it's a picture of lots of things. A jar with a lid containing yellow stuff, a bowl with some yellow stuff in it. Both are stood on some leaves. How's anyone supposed to guess that the "thing" to be identified is the yellow stuff in the containers? And if you're not familiar with ghee, you've got no chance at all. I've seen ghee on the supermarket shelves - but only in cans, so I've never actually seen what the stuff looks like. Crazy man, crazy.

14 is a cocktail stick or swizzlestick, which may double as a toothpick. 20 are Post-It notes. At least I learnt something with the division symbol!

It's a cocktail stick. Swizzle sticks don't have sharp ends.

Quite a mix of ... things. For some things it was difficult to determine what was being indicated.

Some of these I feel stupid for missing. Marzipan duh. I kept thinking it was the name of the bon-bon. Others, not so much. I have never heard of a wristlet. Clutch, wallet, purse, frame, handbag, etc.

I would have called it a clutch as well. And I call myself a handbag nerd. Pfft, apparently 😆

This quiz is silly. I gave up at number 1 - in my version of English, that's a switch. There are such things as toggle switches, but they're different to the switch depicted and in any case they're switches first and foremost.

I quit at the first one when light switch wasn't the universal name for that object.

#27: 'candle snuffer' is actually a misnomer that has become common usage. Candle snuffers were originally specialised scissors with long arms and short, broad blades that were used for trimming (snuffing) wicks while they were lit. The item in the picture was originally called a 'douter' or 'extinguisher'. The change of name came because the meaning of 'snuff' changed. It originally meant 'to cut short', and so people who died early - literally 'cut short' - were said to have had their lives 'snuffed out'. The meaning of 'snuffed out' then shifted to the more general 'died' or 'extinguished' and so snuffing came to mean dying orextinguishing (a flame, in this case). The original snuffers now have the more prosaic name of 'wick trimmers'. You're welcome 🧐
