Ruffians, Thugs & More: The Ultimate Rogue Quiz
How Well Do You Know Rogue Characters?
Maidin mhaith, quizzers! ๐ I was watching a rerun of The Chase the other night, and a question about ruffians came up. Which got me thinking… what’s the actual difference between a ruffian, a thug, a hooligan or a goon? And where do berserkers and fiends fit in? ๐ค
We throw these words around, sometimes playfully, sometimes with a shudder, but each one has its own flavour of chaos. ๐ฅ๐ง So I’ve put together a quiz that explores the rowdiest, roughest, and most riotous characters and terms from history, fiction, and pop culture.
But before we begin, here’s a light-hearted personality check, where do you fit in? ๐งฉ
- Got rage issues? You might be a berserker. ๐ฅ
- Like chaos with a side of sport? Classic hooligan. ⚽
- Sneaky and violent? A thug through and through. ๐ถ️
- A bit of a brute but not totally evil? You're a ruffian. ๐ช
- More muscle than mastermind? That’s a goon to a tee. ๐ช
Whatever your threat level may be, welcome to the Rogue’s Gallery. Now, let’s see how well you do. And don’t forget to share your score, and rogue type, while you're at it! ๐ฏ️๐
