As most of you were aware, solving my pictograms was the only way to spare mankind from my wrath. Well, not really, but if that were the case, Earth would be fucked because out of everyone that I talked to about these, only two people got any correct. Granted, most of these were pretty tricky and, as with all my pictures, could probably have been better illustrated. Anyway, enough with the bullshit...it's time for some answers!
The first one is "flipping a bird." The best guess I heard on this one was Raoul's "cardinal attacking a thumb," which is a little too literal and very much unlike any idiom I've ever heard.
The second one is "holy roller." Marco guessed "holy crap," which is good for only partial credit since the actual game is "crapS." If the game were called "crap," it'd probably be way less popular. Oh, and apparently the Pope throws dice like a 6 year old.
The third one is "raising cain." I know "raze" and "raise" have very different meanings, but you have no excuse because Xander nailed this one pretty quickly, despite (or perhaps because of) being all kinds of fucked up.
The fourth one is "pass the buck." This was my least favorite one based solely on the fact I had to sift through scads of hunting pictures before I found an image of a buck that didn't have blood coming out of its mouth or some jackass in camo holding it in a headlock.
The answer to the fifth one is "come hell or high water." Sorry to anyone who read this blog at work. I know there have been more porn pictures than usual recently, so I'll try to tone it down a bit. Plus, I don't like that my Google auto-complete now suggests "cumshot" whenever I type a "c."
The sixth one is "hit the hay." I also gave partial credit to Raoul's "haymaker," since the man in the background is throwing a doozy of a punch.
And finally, the bonus image comes from my bucket list blog. Get it yet? The answer is "gilding the lily." One more down.
I'll probably do these again some time because I enjoyed making them and hearing people's guesses. If you liked them, stay tuned. If you didn't, well, the last time I checked, the world didn't revolve around you (feel free to stay tuned also, though).
