	Since you're using the "it's short for" it would be good to know that "capo" is short for "caporegime".

	"It's short for" would also work on repo and expo. Fun quiz.

	And typo(graphical error) as well.

	Great Quiz. Almost missed "Po" itself.

	I have never heard Walt Dropo referred to as "Walter". His baseball reference page is titled "Walt Dropo", with Walter being his given name.

	Marx brother ending in po? Harpo? Yes!

	No kakapo?

	The Po River is also in Virginia. As you drive up I-95, you cross the Matta, Po, and Ni Rivers. Further west, they join together to form the Mattaponi.

	Did anyone else try "crappo" for inferior quality? LOL

	TrueNorth:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 12:16 GMT		52 points
	No C3PO??

	loreleedarling:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 12:54 GMT		4 points
	No Limpopo, from the river/province in South Africa? ...kudos if the first thing you thought of while reading my comment was "I am going to the great grey-green, greasy Limpopo River, all set about with fever-trees, to find out what the Crocodile has for dinner." :D

	For Expo you may want to mention that its also a brand that makes good smelling markers :)

	The "Wild Bull of the Pampas," Luis Ángel Firpo, who knocked Jack Dempsey out of the ring during their 1923 fight (but lost).

	Senator from Idaho is nice bonus answer...

	Harpo was also one of the Marx Brothers.

	I'm shocked to learn that Damascus isn't the largest city in Syria. I learn something on Sporcle every day.

	glueyourfingers:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 17:59 GMT		8 points
	Harpo should definitely work for the Marx Brothers clue, as he was "barely noticeable" in the sense that he never spoke. If you want Zeppo specifically, I'd come up with a different clue, such as "youngest Marx brother".

Comment below threshold: show it

	I wish this quiz didn't have to resort to so many 'short for' answers.

	How about the Finnish mythological Sampo? Or better yet, Mooglespeak: Kupo? Kupoppo!

	packstack:	Apr 7th, 2011 at 03:49 GMT		6 points
	Cna't believe I missed Typo. Never knew that Capo was "The head of a branch of a crime syndicate". I'm pretty sure it's that thing you put on the neck of a guitar to press down the strings.

	@drn211 WaPo, for Washington Post. I don't know anyone who calls it that though.

	ChileNoseJam:	Apr 7th, 2011 at 20:27 GMT		2 points
	Gestapo should be capitalised, but other than that, nice quiz. Looks like I wasn't the only one to guess Harpo for the Marx brother and get it for a different answer.

	@marzoz10 I did! ashamed

	EatMorePossum:	May 4th, 2011 at 03:09 GMT		1 point
	"Capo" has another meaning. it's a thing you put on the neck of a guitar (or banjo) so you can play it at a higher pitch.

	The law enforcing group in Communist East Germany was the Volkspolizei, or VOPO.

	I would have to agree that the title/instructions for this quiz are lacking. It states that these are "words or names" that end in PO. A significant number of these are neither, however - they are slang and pop-culture versions of "actual" words. Good idea for a quiz, not so good execution. And I also agree that Harpo IS a Marx brother.

	In law-school, a set of hypothetical facts used to illustrate some aspect of the law is called a "hypo."

	statephone:	Jan 29th, 2012 at 08:26 GMT		2 points
	Harpo was very noticeable, he just never spoke. Zeppo totally fits the clue.
