In rugby, X normally throws the ball in at line-outs, partly because they are normally the shortest of the forwards, but more often because they

are the most skillful of the forwards.

X traditionally wear the number 2 shirt.

X is the player who is in the centre position of the front row of the scrum and who uses his/her feet to ______ the ball back. Due to the

pressure put on the body by the scrum and the requirement to use both arms to bind to other players (and hence having no free arm to use to support or deflect bodyweight) it is considered to be one of the most

dangerous positions to play.

Xs share their position name with one of the ancient professions.What?

We borrow this word from Latin, meaning liquid.

The ancient philosophers believed that four liquids entered into the makeup of our bodies,

and that our temperament (temperamentum,"mixture") was determined by the proportions of these four fluids, blood,

phlegm, bile, and black bile.

What is the good word?

04/10/23

04/10/23

Humour !!

If you had a overplus of blood, the first humor, you were of the optimistic and sanguine temperament (latin sanguis,

blood). A generous portion of phlegm, on the other hand made you "phlegmatic",

or slow and unexciteable. Too much yellow bile and you saw the world

through a "bilious" eye , and since the word "bile" is chole in Latin, you were apt

to be choleric and short tempered.04/10/23
