Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And eggnog!

My stomach is growling. I think there are some tiny terrorists in there, demanding french fries. I am prepared to negotiate with these alleged tiny terrorists.

Dialog?
The word looks like it was cut before the ending. Like, in a dialogue, when one of the people bursts into the sentence of the other person.

I don't know what y'all have against the u.
I consistently get 127-128 on those online IQ tests. But I bet 10 of those points are just my multiple choice test taking skills.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
But I bet 10 of those points are just my multiple choice test taking skills.
Heh, I have those too. I was both pleased and somewhat horrified in grade 12 when I got 98th percentile on the standardized science test - there was only one test combining physics, chemistry and biology, and I didn't take chemistry or biology in high school at all. I had a great time writing that test. I answered some of the biology questions based on my guesses about Latin grammar.

Never negotiate! Bomb them out of existence with hash-brown munitions!
Let the cookie win!

Um, but doesn't that show some kind of intelligence, in and of itself? [Edit: maybe not of the kind measured directly in the exam, but still.]
It's like those kids who prepare such sophisticated ways for cheating on exams, and sometimes, they're so original and brilliant in facing these obstacles, they can either learn the material in a much smaller effort, or actually learn it through those preparations already and end up not needing them.

ouise, I totally had the same experience! (It might have been even the same test.) I did take Grade 11 chem and Grade 12 biology, but I did dismally in both of them, so for Grade 12 I switched to English and History. I got the highest mark in my school for the science standardized test. (99th percentile.) The science nerds were all really pissed off. I also did really well on the math one. Of course, I got 76th percentile on the reading comprehension one and I became an English literature major.

Well, it's a skill in being to eliminate at least two of four possible choices and then just being lucky with your 50/50 guesses.
The IQ questions that I hate are the ones that are series of numbers and you have to complete the series. I can usually reason through a few, but then my brain gets tired and I guess the rest.
