How Haddock are you?
I spent the better part of this morning creating this quiz. Start the New Year taking a quiz over your knowledge of Haddock’s insults. For those of you who wanted more insults in the movie, here are some you probably don’t even remember were in the books. Have fun and please don’t use Wikipedia until after you’ve finished the quiz.
Captain Haddock’s Insults Quiz
I’d love to see how well you did, leave a comment and let me know if it isn’t too embarassing.
Oh man I got 20%, pretty awful. Definitly would make Haddock frown. Oh well at least I didn’t use Wikipedia and have Haddock call me a miserable molecule of mildew.
January 3rd, 2012 at 10:31 pmI love Captain Haddock’s creative swearing but it doesn’t mean I know the definitions of the words he uses! I got 40%.
January 4th, 2012 at 12:57 am40% Haddock. Must’ve got something right. I was just guessing all the answers! Some of the words he say always seem so ridiculous, you just think he made them up, and that they would have no definition! Good idea, Stephen!
Oh yeah, I didn’t use Wikipedia!
January 4th, 2012 at 1:43 amI didn’t use Wikipedia either, although like most multiple choice tests, some of the other options were a little silly.
January 4th, 2012 at 1:54 amCreating the phony answers was the best part.Make sure to check out the real answers if you missed them.
January 4th, 2012 at 2:18 am0%. I’m ruined! How unlucky do you have to be not to stumble on one right answer?
January 4th, 2012 at 9:10 amI do understand the insults in Icelandic but boy, those English ones!
I got 20. I made him frown. I guessed it all though, but one. I got Blackgaurd right, no idea where I heard that one before. In a book I read or something. I honestly thought he was just making all those words up, very interesting that they actually have meanings.
January 4th, 2012 at 10:09 pmI did it again and got 50% which isn’t much better than my first attempt, and I had even seen the answers!
January 5th, 2012 at 11:33 am30%. Better than I thought, but not really by a whole lot.
January 5th, 2012 at 9:30 pmTook it for the third time and I got 90%!
January 6th, 2012 at 3:28 am50%: I made some educated guesses, and apparently they weren’t THAT educated. Oops! But fun quiz.
January 6th, 2012 at 1:16 pmOnly 40% for me… although that’s better than I would have expected
