Fashion, and more specifically, Shoes

7. An oxford shoe is one in which the vamp (that is, the upper part
   covering the instep) is sewn over the quarters, or the rear part
   covering the heel and sides of the foot.  Got that?  Now, what is
   the variation on an oxford in which parts of the shoe are decorated
   with perforations and perhaps serrations?

	brogue (not brogan)

8. What kind of shoe does not cover the heel and is characterized by a
   strap passing from the forepart round the hollow of the ankle,
   sometimes secured by a buckle?

	sling back (not ankle strap)

9. What is the generic term for a woman's slipper or shoe that is held
   on the foot by the forepart only?  It is often decorated, and may or
   may not be open-toed.

	mule OR slide


Team Name Etymologies

In each case we need the applicable connections to be made explicitly:
if we asked about the Toronto Argonauts, you'd need to mention both the
mythological ship and the fact that the team started as a rowing club.

10. There's a basketball team called the Los Angeles Lakers.  Why "Lakers"?

	Until 1960 they played in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
	Minnesota is known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes."

11. There's a baseball team called the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Why "Dodgers"?

	Until 1957 they played in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
	Brooklyn was known for its many streetcar routes, so that its
	residents were nicknamed "Trolley Dodgers".  This nickname was
	applied to the team -- whose stadium had streetcar tracks adjacent
	-- and was then shortened to Dodgers.

	[Accept any reference to "dodging" streetcars or trolley cars in
	 Brooklyn or near the stadium]

12. There's a hockey team called the New York Rangers.  Why "Rangers"?

	Their original owner, G.L. Rickard, had lived in Texas and
	was nicknamed "Tex".  ["Owner was named Tex" is sufficient.]
	"Tex's Rangers" was a play on the famous police/paramilitary
	force called the Texas Rangers.
