I just went and took that whole thing. Interesting that they don't have the
word "liquor barn" as an available option (so I just had to go and check
"other"). I was also interested to see a dozen different names for the waxy
material that builds up in your eyes after you've been sleeping, but they
didn't include "scales" (my term) anywhere on the list. Among the names
people use are "sleep", "sleepies", "eye shit" and the rather proper-sounding
"matter". They also had more names for pillbugs and for the game that
involves throwing a knife and someone blindfolded than you would imagine
existed. They even dealt with the mispronunciation of "thespian" that rhymes
with "lesbian" in the study! I suggest everyone check it out if you haven't
already. For anyone who's interested, here's Mr. Vaux's program's summary of
my results:
