26. WWQ 1
Please note that the words ‘Cabbaged, Debagged,
Baggaged, Fabaceae’, at 8 letters long, have a common
claim to fame. What?
(Hint: where else would you’ve seen these letters before)

27. WWQ 2
In the early 17th century, the word originally referred to
African amulets or charms – as protection, like a talisman.
In late 1800s, it was picked up and applied to the newly
emerging science of psychoanalysis, which established the
modern meaning.
As these talismans were merely inanimate objects revered
by their holders, this came to be used to refer to an erotic
desire or obsession for a non-sexual object.
What word?

28. WWQ 3
Sir. William Cubitt, a renowned engineer, observed in 1818
that prisoners in London were idling their time away in the
prison yard. Sensing a wasted opportunity, he conceived of
a device that would not only stir them from their laziness
and allow them to pass their time in prison more actively,
but could harness this activity to provide a useful service.
What did he invent, that became obscure by 1910s, but got
revived in 1950s for a ‘similar purpose’-’different form and
audience’ – and many people use it even now?

29. WWQ 4
Augusto de Campos, who started the Concrete poetry movement in Brazil
– has this stunning example where he repeats “colocar a mascara” [ to
put on a mask] , to create a new word ‘caracol’ – that seems to slowly
slide down.
What does ‘caracol’ mean in Portuguese (and English/French/Spanish
etc)?

30. WWQ 5
