Whatzit? #6

The answer to Whatzit #5 was, "Think Before you Speak." Somebody actually guessed it right, good job! I told you sometimes they are easy...I need to start thinking before I speak. Sometimes I find myself saying things that I probably could have just kept to myself. I also need to stop thinking so much sometimes too! When I over think things I get a lot more worried about everything and it just makes the situations worst. Have you ever written a test and think that the answer is one thing and then think another thing and get yourself all confused? Go with your first instinct, that’s what usually works! Here is the next puzzle...

The answer to Whatzit? #4 was, “Rock and Roll.” Here is what I found for Gibraltar and the definition of bagel:

“The Rock of Gibraltar (sometimes called the Pillar of Hercules or by its Latin name, Calpe[1]) is a monolithic limestone promontory located in Gibraltar, off the southwestern tip of Europe on the Iberian Peninsula.[2]”
Bagel (ˈbā-gəl) : a firm doughnut-shaped roll traditionally made by boiling and then baking

I think that it would have been a bit easier if they put an “&” sign in between the two words, unless you knew what Gibraltar was referring too. I had no idea...but I thought maybe someone would! I should have posted the picture along with the puzzle, maybe I will do that with the next hard one. This week is easier so keep on trying!

The answer to Whatzit? 3 is, “turn the other cheek.” My first guess was “cheek to cheek,” as well as some of you said, but of course, there had to be a more difficult answer. I ‘googled’ the answer and found this:

“Turn the other cheek”
An adaption of a command of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount: “Ye have heard that is hath been said, “An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”; but I say unto you, that ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
‡ To “turn the other cheek” is thus to accept injuries and not seek revenge.

I think that I’ve heard the phrase before but I never understood what it meant. Unfortunately the answer was not as simple as Frank Sinatra’s, “Cheek to Cheek!” I do like that song though..."Heaven, I’m in heaven, and my heart beats so that I can hardly speak, and I seem to find the happiness I seekwhen were out together dancing cheek to cheek.”
My next puzzle is kind of hard to guess without knowing one of the words, so feel free to search the net! It won’t give it completely away...

Whatzit? #3

I think that the second Whatzit? puzzle was a little easier than the first puzzle! The answer was “Permanent Wave.” The picture was very clear, it said “permanent” and it was written in a wave, put two and two together and you have permanent wave.
The first thing that I thought of when I saw the answer was Geography 12. For some reason I remember learning about permanent waves but I can’t seem to find anything on the internet. Does anyone know what I am thinking about? I might just be confused...
But here is the definition I got off Google,
“A permanent wave, commonly called a perm, is the chemical treatment of hair to produce curls. In cosmetology, it is termed a type of curl reformation. Humans have been attempting to add curl to straight hair for thousands of years.”
Is that what everyone who guessed thought?
I found another somewhat easy one so keep on guessing, but try not to view the comments before you guess because then it will give it away! Good luck.
