I was sure about diver and driver.
I supposed fiver was included because of fever, but skiver… OMG!
A good word “skiver” especially for a Big Boss like you! You can yell it at your minions and they won’t have a clue what you mean!
Actually, after reading the dictionary I can tell you that during the high school I used to be Paolo the Skiver!
I had no doubt!
I mistake fiver and sliver
It’s not an easy exercise, Luca! You did pretty well.
N.B. I mistook ‘fiver’ and ‘sliver’ – but it would be more typical to say, “I got ‘fiver’ and ‘sliver’ wrong.”
I’ll take a note about the more typical way to say it!.
By the way; I didn’t know what is a fiver 🙂
It’s a five-pound banknote. We also have a “tenner”.
N.B. I didn’t know what a fiver is. (the verb comes afterwards because it is not a question)
