I wonder why I notice words with "Z"...maybe also why I notice left-handed folks! :)
 
If I hadn't known there was at least one "z" in each one, I would have probably gotten a lot more wrong. I have definitely heard of all the ones I missed, but I have never had them.

P.S. PF--go look at Fred's and my "mole" conversation in today's dinner thread. :LOL:
