Q1.


At The Battle of Agincourt in 1415 AD, the French,
who were overwhelmingly favored to win the
battle, threatened to do something to all
captured English soldiers so that they could never
fight again. The English won in a major upset and
waved something at the French in defiance. This
mostly urban legend is supposed to be the origin
of what practice?











The finger, the middle finger, the highway salute, the
Bronx salute, the one- finger salute, the bird (as in
giving, flipping, or flying the bird), or flipping off
someone.
The French proposed to cut off the middle finger
without which it is impossible to draw the English
longbow.
• This famous weapon was made of the native
English yew tree, and so the act of drawing the
longbow was known as "plucking yew".
• Thus, when the victorious English waved their
middle fingers at the defeated French, they said,
"See, we can still pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!“
Since "pluck yew" is rather difficult to say it has
gradually changed to F*** You !

Idea of India

Q1
This character started out as a secondary antagonist and comic
relief in the first film, and later become the supporting protagonist in
the film's sequels and TV series.
He is easily frustrated and openly vocalizes his frustrations, and avoids
direct confrontations if he can help it, but when required, he can be
quite cunning and mischievous.
X is also known for his notorious greed of treasure and gold, for which
he will go to outlandish lengths to acquire, usually dragging along
“Y” to help him, but “Y's” incompetence always costs him. "X" is often
put in situations of deciding between saving his own tailfeathers or
doing the right thing. His guilt always leads him to do the latter,
usually costing him some form of reward or riches, for which he
always berates himself afterward.
An epic line of his, "I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die
from not surprise! "

Q2.
Which (in)famous group?
167-761

The leader in the group, is short but has the word
BIG in his name

761-176 or176-761

The foodie in the group, especially hamburgers

716-167

The second strongest in the group,
distinguishable teeth

617-716

Silly grin and loose fitting clothes. Least intelligent

671-167

Largest of the group and strongest too.

671-761

Jazz styles outfit, beatnik member of the group

176-167

Youngest of the group, , short but a manly voice.

I think X would be very gifted in Occlumency, unlike Harry. Harry‟s
problem with it was always that his emotions were too near the
surface and that he is in some ways too damaged. But he's also
very in touch with his feelings about what's happened to him.
He's not repressed, he's quite honest about facing them, and he
couldn't suppress them, he couldn't suppress these memories. But
I thought of X as someone who is very capable of
compartmentalizing his life and his emotions, and always has
done. So he's shut down his pity. So he suppresses virtually all of
the good side of himself. But then he's playing with the big
boys, as the phrase has it, and suddenly, having talked the talk
he's asked to walk it for the first time and it is absolutely terrifying.
And I think that that is an accurate depiction of how some
people fall into that kind of way of life and they realize what
they're in for. I felt sorry for X. Well, I‟ve always known this was
coming for X, obviously, however nasty he was.

Q2


X, also known as the Battle Over Little Whinging, or the Flight
from Little Whinging, was an aerial battle of the Second
Wizarding War that took place above the Muggle area of
Little Whinging. The battle occurred on 27 July, 1997, when
several members of the Order of the Phoenix were ambushed
by Death Eaters while removing Harry Potter from the home of
his relatives. The Order managed to get Harry to safety, but
suffered the loss of their leader, Alastor Moody, and Harry's
owl, Hedwig, in the process. George Weasley also lost an ear
because of a curse sent by Severus Snape, who originally sent
his Sectumsempra curse at a Death Eater's wand arm. This war
was a result of Snape‟s semi-betrayal of the Order wherein he
informs Voldemort about the removal of Harry. However the
name of the battle is derived from the plan that Snape
hatched and shared with the Order in order to save Harry
and ensure his safe passage.
