Example: [Bronner, 1990] There's also the tough prof who gives students painful quizzes, which he irritatingly calls his little quizzies. After the third or so ordeal with these quizzies, a coed tells her classmate, If those are his quizzies, I'd hate to see his testes. Origins: Print references to the little quizzies tale date to 1962, but the tale itself has been around since the early 1950s. It continues to surface among college students to this day. Similar to a number of other college legends (e.g., Why Does It Taste So Salty?), it swings on the notion of a hapless coed's blurting out the wrong thing, unaware (at least for the moment) of how her comment will be taken. Barbara what's the plural of 'testy'? Mikkelson
