WHAT SIMPSONS COINAGE has been defined as "a big, dumb, balding North American ape with no chin"? Some definitions also mention a short temper.
WHAT WORD is used by Bushy in Act II, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's Richard II to describe a plan to send troops to Ireland? According to "Lisa on Ice" it would seem that Ralph Wiggum knows this, but Principal Skinner and Ms. Hoover may not.
In "Don't Fear the Roofer", WHAT TERM does Ned Flanders use to describe people (like himself) who believe that Homer's new friend, a contractor voiced by guest star Ray Romano, is actually a hallucination on Homer's part?

WHAT WORD refers to the tendency of police officers to be killed in the line of duty three days before the scheduled end of their careers? (Oddly enough, the day before seems to be even more dangerous.)
WHAT CONSTRUCT is created by taking a common square and extending it into a theoretical "third" dimension? It's also known as a "cube", but who can remember that?
WHAT SIMPSONS COINAGE refers to a legendary horse, born with the head of a rabbit, and the body of a rabbit?
According to Dr. Nick Riviera, WHAT MEDICAL CONDITION causes the skeleton to try to leap out of the mouth and escape the body? It's treated with "trans-dental electromicide," which can be performed using a 1000-volt capacimator and a golf-cart motor.
WHAT PHRASE was the first Simpsons coinage to appear in a dictionary -- which it did in-universe, in the episode where it was introduced, with the meaning "to succeed despite idiocy"?

In "The City of New York Versus Homer Simpson", WHAT VIOLATION must the Simpsons remedy within 72 hours or have their car thrown into the East River at their own expense? (Answer must be one word.)
