	A suggested alternative for #5: What did the five fingers say to the FACE!?

	This is the first I've ever heard of this "colloquial term." How would it be used in a sentence? There's a thin blue line on my tail?

Comment below threshold: show it

	I've never heard of the "thin blue line" either. Maybe it's regional?

	My 4 letter word for police was POPO.

	The majority of police forces in the US have some sort of blue uniform. The "thin blue line" refers the to police who separate the crimials from the law abiding citizens. I hope this helps.

	Kept thinking it had to been "Cabbage" Patch Kids,but I couldn't think of any way to spell "Cabbage" in 4 letters. AlexKrycek: Well put. There was actually a movie by that title in the late 80's. Maybe this is one quiz where old geezers like me have an advantage over the younger generation who run rings around us with their knowledge of the current pop culture.

	@PFRSTA My first word was FUZZ.

	@Oddish - You must have been a rather strange child. Oddish, even.

	@JustANiceGuy, I remember the movie from the 80's (I was in college then).

	Thin Blue Line is also a UK TV comedy show about a police force starring Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean).

	"Wahh, I never heard of this term before even though it's a movie and a play on a much older term, The Thin Red Line! Wahh, it must be the quizmaker's fault I never heard of something!" What whiners. Great quiz. Very thoughtful. Good clues.
