I've always hear them referred to as "micks" as in a Mickey Mouse class.
This might have been a matter of a slang term that changes every handful of years or so. I must be exactly the right age range for this particular term as I had always heard them called "guts".

Ok. But have you ever heard the term Mickey Mouse? I'll ask some of the students around here about it.

I've never heard of either term in this context. But I am outside the target group.

$4K: I never heard of this slang word in college. I would also ATA. Even though only a plurality said D, I would've gone ahead with it anyway. This question was undervalued.
$16K: No clue. PAF.
$25K: Another undervalued WWOQ®. Even with the 50:50, I wouldn't touch this question. I'm walking with $16K as well.

One of those stacks where I truly don't know how I would react in the hot seat. I knew all of these, but the uncertainty level at the $16K and $25K might have made me burn lifelines and then kick myself when I really needed them later on.
The Gettysburg Q is one of the few Civil War questions where I might go for it without lifelines. And the right answer was the only one in the $25K choices that I had heard of. Would it have been associated enough with Treasure Island in my mind, or would I head for my PAF? No telling. So either a clean stack, or else one or zero lifelines left.

I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

A dream question for me! The Civil War became my first obsession, when my parents took us to Gettysburg shortly after the centennial of the battle.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$16,000

I've heard of a "Mickey Mouse class" (as well as "Mickey Mouse" used to minimize other things), but I have never heard courses referred to as "micks".ulysses5019 wrote:slam wrote:ulysses5019 wrote:

Put me in the neither camp. Never heard of "guts" or "micks". Best I can remember from the college days is we would say "basket weaving" and that would appy to any and all easy classes.

I remember that Pickett's Charge was part of Gettysburg from a James Bond movie, where Timothy Dalton was pointing out to Jon Don Baker that the charge was up Cemetary Ridge, not Little Round Top.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: $16,000

Oh yeah. Non-organic gardening is the tough one.kayrharris wrote:I think all my kids took Organic Gardening...which comes close to a "Mick" or a "gut" class, neither of which I've ever heard about in these parts anyway.
At least it was a guaranteed "A" for them.

If they offered non-organic, I'm sure they would have registered. Although I'm sure organic just has to be more difficult.
I'm into organic milk these days. It's amazing how much longer it will keep and I don't use a lot of it. I was throwing away more milk than I used until I made the switch. Price is about the same as well.

The course for which we still give my older son verbal abuse was called "The Films of Clint Eastwood."

We used all these terms and more.
Once Adventure Boy partied his way out of school, slept through the winter in a tent in the Tetons, and came back to the university, he never took any easy courses and made the Dean's List. The fact that he was paying most of his own tuition at that point made the difference.
