	Skin is not flesh...how about tissue instead.

	Scout_Number_4:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 04:25 GMT		1 point
	"winners and losers" for paid athletes and prisoners?...Yeah, I guess it's a reach.

	Zak6009:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 04:25 GMT		17 points
	PLAIN and simple ok to accept?

	mustango:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 04:52 GMT		39 points
	Chip and Dip, perhaps?

	sopojofo:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 05:04 GMT		3 points
	Chew and screw!

	timonan:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 05:49 GMT		18 points
	Pokey and Constant could be 'horse and stable'.

	Lprdgecko:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 05:52 GMT		8 points
	Well darn, I tried "Pee and vinegar"... I've never heard the expression "piss and vinegar" before... Challenging quiz.

	@theworrywork: Road and Track is a magazine in the U.S. (although I didn't think of it). I've heard cheesed off in the U.S. - it was more common in the 80s I think, when my brothers were in high school. I've never heard of plug and play but I'm not into even mildly techie stuff. @ everyone: I agree that chip and dip and horse and stable are reasonable answers for those clues. I also thought of highways and byways instead of road and track.

	I too tried chip and dip.... should be valid

	Niques:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 07:35 GMT		13 points
	Turf isn't artificial grass...it's any grass.

	ecco:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 09:19 GMT		9 points
	for "paid athletes and prisoners" I thought "stars and bars."

	Brizza:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 09:19 GMT		8 points
	One of those fun quizzes where as a Brit you have to both pick apart the synonym and also find the equivalent phrase which'll be ever so slightly different to the UK version. Fun and tough in equal measure.

	Accept 'Tried & Tested' for 'Attempted and verifiable'?

	smith8904:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 11:07 GMT		9 points
	I have never heard the answer for 'attempted and verifiable' before, maybe it's a US thing. I second accepting 'tried and tested' for this question.

	'Dorito and Valley' - I couldn't get silicon chips out of my head!

	chrispaz:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 11:48 GMT		2 points
	Not heard of Tried and True either, but Tried and Tested fits.

	Scurra:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 12:35 GMT		1 point
	What Brizza said (wrt to UK differences.) A curious mix of different types of answers as well; some were phrases, some were antonyms and a couple were pop-culture references. That's not a bad thing but it definitely slows down the solving process.

	HPZ:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 13:05 GMT		9 points
	I like "Highway and Byway" for "Street and Trail."

	Bob91351:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 14:20 GMT		4 points
	Obviously a lot of non-US players here, since "Tried and True" is a long-standing American slogan. And "Tried and Tested" sounds weird since they are essentially the same.

	Ryo_Sangnoir:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 14:34 GMT		1 point
	I thought of "Tried and Proven" for that one, although I'm not sure it fits with "verifiable" (more verified). UK here.

	thewildboo:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 14:44 GMT		2 points
	How is track the same as trail? Tracks are paved and usually go in a circle, trails are dirt and go through the woods.

	I was certainly not thinking of the "Dorito and Valley" words when thinking of "common" word pairs anyway, since they're proper names. It seems out of place.

	Icicle:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 14:54 GMT		2 points
	I`ve always heard `Dine and Ditch`, never Dine and Dash. Hm

	eab21:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 16:49 GMT		1 point
	I could have sworn that Dorito and Valley was Chip and Dip...

	ezois:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 17:03 GMT		6 points
	Someone must remember Chip and Dale. I kept thinking of "cork" but it didn't go with "play".

	Meltha:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 00:48 GMT		1 point
	Undiluted and easy could also be plain and simple.

	Propellerhead:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 01:08 GMT		1 point
	I misread "ordinance" as "ordnance", and I couldn't figure out any way that shells or bullets would work with any synonym for Logical Arrangement. Blast!

	TAR2:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 02:43 GMT		4 points
	piss and vinegar? wtf?!

	Xpider:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 04:20 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz. I kept thinking packing meant like a suitcase or boxes. May I suggest "Packing Heat" to make it a little clearer?

	TreehuggnCowgirl:	Jan 5th, 2012 at 18:54 GMT		1 point
	@thewildboo Seconded. A track's a lot more like a road than a trail.

	ktappe:	Jan 8th, 2012 at 02:31 GMT		1 point
	@Brizza: At least one of them is a Brit saying that threw us Americans for a loop: "Dine and Dash". That phrase is not used here; we say "Eat and Run".

	a trail is not a track!
