	First time I've ever heard dosh.

	I really struggled with this. Dosh and Cist took about 15-20 seconds each.

	Dosh? really?

	I found flat-bottomed container misleading for the final answer. They aren't always flat-bottom, nor do I think of them as containers.

	In what country is dosh a slang term for money? Serious question.

	najello In the uk.

	What the heck is Dosh? Also, a dish and a bowl aren't really containers unless they come with a cover...which most don't. Also, if a dish is "flat bottomed" than I don't really consider a bowl to be flat bottomed...as its a bowl...

	@Flick: I liked this. I enjoy the educational aspects of Sporcle as much as the fun aspects. So, although I previously was unfamiliar with "dosh" and "cist", the surrounding clues in both cases were excellent lead-ins for answering them, by availing of the appropriate word-ladder-solving techniques.

	Dosh is common use here in the UK. Cist or Colt I didn't know though!

	I have tweaked the two food 'containers', but have left in both CIST and DOSH as although they are relatively obscure they can be solved from the easier clues surrounding them.

	I used to live in Northampton, England and I can't remember ever hearing dosh.

	I don't know about your bowls, but mine are flat bottomed to keep them from rolling over.

	Dosh? Cist? come on

	Dosh is used in the game Killing Floor, which is how I knew it.

	A bolt better NOT be a sliding metal bar, or whatever it's holding together will fall apart.

	HectorVortac:	Mar 20th, 2012 at 11:27 GMT		4 points
	I like to think of 'dosh' as British revenge for Yankee-centric quizzes.
