WWQ 1 Please notethat the words ‘Cabbaged, Debagged, Baggaged, Fabaceae’, at 8 letters long, have a common claim to fame. What? (Hint: where else would you’ve seen these letters before)

27.
WWQ 2 In theearly 17th century, the word originally referred to African amulets or charms – as protection, like a talisman. In late 1800s, it was picked up and applied to the newly emerging science of psychoanalysis, which established the modern meaning. As these talismans were merely inanimate objects revered by their holders, this came to be used to refer to an erotic desire or obsession for a non-sexual object. What word?

28.
WWQ 3 Sir. WilliamCubitt, a renowned engineer, observed in 1818 that prisoners in London were idling their time away in the prison yard. Sensing a wasted opportunity, he conceived of a device that would not only stir them from their laziness and allow them to pass their time in prison more actively, but could harness this activity to provide a useful service. What did he invent, that became obscure by 1910s, but got revived in 1950s for a ‘similar purpose’-’different form and audience’ – and many people use it even now?

29.
WWQ 4 Augusto deCampos, who started the Concrete poetry movement in Brazil – has this stunning example where he repeats “colocar a mascara” [ to put on a mask] , to create a new word ‘caracol’ – that seems to slowly slide down. What does ‘caracol’ mean in Portuguese (and English/French/Spanish etc)?

30.
WWQ 5 Amrita Pritam’sautobiography is titled “Raseedi Ticket” / “Revenue Stamp”. The title is a reference to a comment by Khushwant Singh, to which she suitably responded with this book. Put funda.
