Off to the cooler for a think! Now there's a thing... 🤣

[Cleoriff]

Thank you for the Formula 1 question @Mi-Amigo 😜

[Spenny]

Kakorrhaphiophobia - a great word. Pity I never did Latin at school. I am assuming it comes from Latin, but that could be the start of me getting that question wrong 😂

[Spenny]

I remember I first watched  "A Nightmare On Elm Street" in a French lesson at the end of a school term.  It was not dubbed to French and did not have French subtitles 🤣

Now to see how much attention I was paying to it.  Have not watched any of that franchise in ages.

Thank you @pgn . Have fun in the cooler thinking of the answers 😀

Thank you @Cleoriff . I did promise a F1 question when there was a Sports question in WRQ. Be interesting to see how many quizzers get it right 😀

Thank you @Spenny . Good luck with words questons and hope you remember enough of the movie  😀
