KTLA Los Angeles CA. Question of he day

[Andy D]

The question was...

The word "lego" comes from a Danish phrase that means... (their capitalization of LEGO)

A. Stack well

B. live well

C. Play well

D. Color well

They didn't know.

The way he game is played is that the caller selects a News Anchor to play the game, then the caller has to agree or disagree with the anchor. The anchor said " I know it is not D, so disagree with me" and followed up by saying "I think it is A or C".

I guess LEGO has not made it fully into the mainstream yet.

I guess LEGO has not made it fully into the mainstream yet.

....or, alternatively maybe Danish has not made it into the mainstream yet.

I would assume most people who are unfamiliar with the product (and many who are) wouldn't know what LEGO was derived from in Danish. As far as most consumers, it is a name brand and has no other meaning. I knew LEGO was Danish when I was younger, but I never knew what LEGO meant until I came out of my DA a few years ago. So if people aren't fans of the product, I doubt they will know what it means even though almost everyone knows what LEGO is.

I think the most fun and interesting "wrong" answer is "A. Stack well"
