	"You have selected 'Regicide'. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, please press 1"

	Who else got 'lupicide' because of Professor Lupin from Harry Potter?

	Some of these aren't really "killing a ____" words. While things like "regicide" and "fratricide" are, like "homicide", about the act of killing a king/brother/etc., many of them like "silvicide" and "molluscacide" are analogous to "pesticide": they're chemicals (or other agents) that are used to kill trees/snails/etc. (Fun--well, not-so-fun, really--fact: "amicicide" is apparently now mostly used to refer to "friendly fire".)

	This is a lot easier if you know Latin.

	I thought Regicide was killing Elton John...!

	this is really a pleasant quiz to think about, haha!

	Genocide doesn't just relate to the murder of an ethnic group, but includes religious groups, national groups etc.

	Small nitpick... 'ones' should have an apostrophe (one's). Learning Latin at school definitely helped with this - good quiz!

	"Strangely, there's not a word for killing someone with kindness." not precisely the same based on definitions, but surely euthanization fits the model of "killing with kindness" broadly speaking.

	good if somewhat morbid quiz; but when I did it, it went wrong about halfway through. The last 15 answers were in list order - oops.

	When I saw killing a god...I could only think...."really difficult". On a more serious note, Killing an ethnic group is ethnocide, not genocide. As Mr_Sparkle said, genocide is a more general term relating to the killing of a segment of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. It is akin to saying killing a human is homocide, but the more technical terms, which are used here, are under homocide, such as patricide, fratricide, regicide, and even genocide.

	I thought killing an ant was "stomping on it". :D

	Hey Hodgetiger? If you're going to be making those terrible Elton John-related puns, then I Don't Wanna Go On With You Like That. :D (from the album "Reg Strikes Back", of course)

	Excellent quiz. It really does help to know your Latin...

	Yeah, you could easily rename this quiz "Latin roots/Prefixes"

	Hey guys! Edited the "ones" grammar error, and changed the definition in the clue for genocide. On a side note, does anybody know if vulpicide includes the killing of Vulpix?

	MatildaQ:	May 30th, 2012 at 16:15 GMT		3 points
	I really enjoyed this quiz, but after the first few, many of the clues were presented in the order in which the choices appeared. For example, the clues for all of the first row answers appeared in order. Is there a way to randomize it more, or was that just the way the clues happened to show up for me?

	I got a lot of wierd ones but missed homicide. Go figure.
