THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: NAMESAKES
On-air questions: OK, Ian: things get their names from many different sources: some are named after places, some can trace their origins to words in other languages, and, in some cases, it seems like a cat walked across a keyboard. I’ll give you a list of three things, one of which is named after a person. You determine which thing it is.
1. Rhode Island, Vermont, Pennsylvania
2. Leotard, tuxedo, pajamas
3. Yoga, Pilates, Tai chi
4. Magenta, fuchsia, scarlet
