Welcome to Weird Wednesdays, hosted by It’s OK to be WEIRD!

I’m having fun with these lists of weird questions – things that make me go “Hmmmmm?” This is round 4:

Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?

Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety one?

What hair colour do they put on the driver’s licences of bald men?

Why are the little styrofoam pieces used in packing called peanuts?

How fast DO hotcakes sell?

Why do we put suits in a garment bag and put garments in a suitcase?

Why do overalls have belt loops, since they are held up at the top by the straps?

Do the English people eat English muffins, or are they just called muffins?

Why do people say “heads up” when you should duck?

If one man says, “it was an uphill battle,” and another says, “it went downhill from there,” how could they both be having troubles?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
