	What about "Conviviality" as a possible answer for "Enthusiasm or Liveliness"?

	Calling Villanova a city is quite a stretch.

	I would say that something that "evokes" is also "evocative", as an alternative to provocative.

	Wow, the Villanova clue was definitely misleading. There is a place called Villanova that is centered around the university, but I would hardly consider it a city, especially when you consider the city that it is nearest to (Philadelphia). The Wikipedia page for the actual place describes it as a village that is part of two different townships in two different counties, and it expressly states that "Villanova is neither an incorporated area nor a census-designated place". When you asked for a "city" and university in the clue, I started thinking of actual cities (or at least larger towns). Villanova is definitely not a city.

	No vuvuzela? That's all we heard about after the last world Cup!

	That was tough. Could have used another minute or two

	Well, they changed that Villanova clue pretty quickly.

	I would have guessed 'savvy' with a simple two-word clue: Jack Sparrow

	"Enthusiasm or liveliness" had me stumped. Then, with 35 secounds on the clock iTunes started playing "Bittersweet Symphony". Thanks, iTunes!

	I find it funny that savvy was least-guessed, as that was the first word that came to mind when I saw the quiz title.

	A 2009 quiz sees daylight! There's hope for us all yet!

	Anyone else write vulva when they meant volvo? Me neither. I just like the excuse to reasonably use the word vulva on a message board without it being inappropriate.

	"Hmm, evolve describes the clue but it only has one V" ... This is why I have a love/hate relationship with Sporcle.

	mrlevin:	Feb 5th, 2013 at 21:54 GMT		3 points
	You might find this provocative. But I think tending to incite, or evoke a strong reaction also could be called "divisive."

	LisaSimpsonOH:	Feb 5th, 2013 at 22:42 GMT		2 points
	That was the first word that came to mind for me too, mrlevin. It certainly fits the clue.

	Vivacious would work for the "vivid" clue. I kept typing it over and over again.

	DeliciousPoop:	Feb 6th, 2013 at 03:17 GMT		3 points
	provocative and savvy are not difficult or unusual words..... they fact that they are least guessed can only mean that the descriptions of them are poor..... and that is in fact the case... needs refinement

	Vexing quiz. I thought of Vancouver but discarded it for whatever reason my brain saw fit as not having more than 1 V. Curses!

	I am the 0.3%! I am the 0.3%! You are the 99.7%! You are the 99.7%! (I take very foolish risks, but it's hard not to write that for once. Occupy Sporcle! — home of mentally diverting occupations.)

	Conservatism - at least in the US - is not defined by a desire to preserve the status quo, i.e., the current state of affairs. That is a complete mischaracterization, especially considering how strongly liberalism (the current status quo) has influenced the society over the past three or four decades. This is hardly something conservatives want to remain the same.

	NaGfH:	Feb 6th, 2013 at 18:35 GMT		4 points
	I love how people misunderstand the concept of conservatism, but in a way you are right. The Democrats are a conservative party. There is no word for wanting to preserve the status quo 50 years ago, but if there was it would describe the Republicans. The USA's liberal parties are all 3rd parties.

	Moosefight:	Feb 7th, 2013 at 01:36 GMT		1 point
	I agree, a good point is raised that politicians in the US misuse conservative. The link to preservation is clear, given words like conserves or conservation. Even if you say they don't support the status quo, there is some notion of supporting "tradition."

	billymac72:	Feb 7th, 2013 at 14:19 GMT		1 point
	Tradition, traditional values, etc. are very important to conservatism, but - and this is very important - some traditions that are either immoral or meaningless are not worth preserving. Preservation is not a virtue in itself. No conservative that I know of believes that. I think a very good argument can be made, however, that "change" for liberals, is seen as a virtue in itself, regardless of what may be lost in the process. Why? Because utopian ideas are much more common on the left. At any rate, tradition is a wildly different concept than the "status quo." It's simply an incorrect definition. Even a liberal should be able to see that, unless they are simply trying to be pejorative, which is usually what is suggested by such a remark.

	billymac72:	Feb 7th, 2013 at 14:26 GMT		2 points
	There is no word, btw, for wanting to preserve the status quo ideology of the 1960s and 70s either, but if there was it would describe the Democrats. These are simply competing ideologies.
