Game time again. This is from a 1940 radio script Grandma Bea sent away for back in 1940. The station was WJR, and it was a broadcasting service of . . . gulp . . . University of Michigan! Grandma! What were you thinking???

The game: Hanky Panky. (Okay, quit chortling, you two!)

And copying directly from the script:

The staff of Collegiate Quiz here presents fifty of its most popular Hanky-Pankies as featured on the broadcasts from the campus of the University of Michigan.

How to Play

The quizzer gives the contestant a definition containing an adjective and a noun. The contestant must answer with a two-word phrase similar in meaning to the original definition, in which the two words ryhme. And that's Hanky-Panky!


We'll start with the first ten:

1. inebriated polecat
2. naked rabbit
3. fleshy rodent
4. tall pastry
5. crazy fashion
6. happy boy
7. steaming kettle
8. colored writing-fluid
9. unruly youngster
and 10: loyal color.

Have at it!
