Ausmumof3 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Woohoo, 9 of 9. I once had an argument with and English teacher over sharper than a serpent tooth which I swore was proverbs. Turned out it was Shakespeare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsRobinson Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I missed skin of my teeth, too which I thought was pretty good since I don't regularly use the KJV. I sent the link to my hubs. Let's see how he does. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 I missed 'skin of my teeth". Could have sworn that was the Bard. It sounded like a translation to me, so I chose 'bible'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I scored 9/9, but I kind of had an unfair advantage. :) I was an English major in college and own a 1611 KVJ. (A reprint. It's not really 400 years old.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
