Fun with words

Here's a "fun with words" quiz which I think came from Reader's Digest. The answers are actually familiar (mostly) terms such as "hook, line and sinker" in the example below. Answers tomorrow!

sample: took, sign, and blinker
answer: hook, line, and sinker

1. flop, crook, and glisten
2. pin, brace, and though
3. versed, beckoned, and heard
4. leg, sorrow, and wheel
5. bawl, park, and ransom
6. sprawl, tedium, and barge
7. trap, shackle, and top
8. mud, fret, and beers
9. break, cattle, and foal
10. wife, pork, and croon
11. sheer, rose, and float
12. fine, swimmin', and wrong
13. lame, debt, and scratch
14. head, fright, and chew
15. rub, raw, ray (hint for this one: I threw this in as my contribution to the list... it is in Hokkien, and has to do with the Chinese NewYear festive season, which starts tomorrow).
