Many common English words are made up of two words that are words in their own right (how's that for confusing?) Example: armchair - combining arm and chair to create a new word with a different meaning. Try your hand at these. Note: Read the hints!

-1.Combine the word for moving with speed on foot and the word used when the team isn't playing at home for this popular song by Del Shannon. (One Word. Live to fight another day.)

-2.Combine the word for one step in a flight and the word meaning a method to come up with first word in the name of this Led Zeppelin classic. 8 letters

-3.Combine a word for headwear and a word for small-medium-large to get this word describing something sailors never want their ships to do. (One Word. That sinking feeling.)

-4.Combine the word that describes the people in a play and the word meaning not at home to come up with the word that describes the fate of Robinson Crusoe. (One Word. Tom Hanks movie)

-5.Combine the words meaning a short respite and the word meaning speedy to come up with this one. Pancakes, hot or cold cereal, waffles, bacon and eggs, even if it's just toast...don't leave home without it! (One Word. Start your day off right)

-6.Combine the word that means not near and the word that means an object, and you get the word for an obsolete English coin of lowest denomination. (One Word. One quarter) (Don't forget the h)(lol)

7.This word is made up of two other words - one French and one Scottish - that mean elegant (as in fashionable) and relating to knowledge, respectively. Neither of them fit the creature called by this name. 7 letters. c--c--n

-8.Combine two alcoholic beverages and you come up with the largest single-day battle of the American War of Independence. (One Word. Chadds Ford)

-9.One word is the first half of a modern term meaning traffic jam (it's combined with lock for that), and the other word is a metal. Evidently St. Laurence could tell you this is better for cooking burgers, not people. (One Word. American football)

-10.Combine the words meaning female parent and enquire and you come up with a fine cloth originating in Syria. 6 letters

To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self.

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.

Netflix needs to stop asking if I'm still watching and start asking if I've switched the laundry over yet
