Names of people are valid too?

I thought that was strange, too, but if you look it up on Dictionary.com, you’ll see it as a slang word. But that’s not the reason I got it “right.” I don’t think I even thought of the slang word, even though I’d learned that slang word years ago. I just finally gave up and put that word in the space because I couldn’t think of any other word that could be formed from that set of letters.
I think your problem is that you’re not as disorderly and forgetful as I am. (Speaking of forgetful, I’ve probably told this story before.) I have a sort of method of finding things that I’ve lost. (I use the word method very loosely in this case.) The “method” is, after I’ve looked in all the rational places, I give myself permission to look in the crazy places. That’s how, once, many years ago, I found my keys (a key ring with car keys and house key, and maybe some other key(s)) in the freezer.
How does that apply to this situation? Well, I guess it applies analogously. I couldn’t think of any smart word that would go in that space, so I used the dumb word, and it worked.

I confused myself toward the end there.
Oh, about the previous one: I’m pretty sure the word ralph in the sense of vomit originated with the expression “calling Ralph on the porcelain telephone,” or “talking to Ralph on the porcelain telephone,” or something like that.
This is one of the few advantages of being an old guy: it means that one may have actually been there when a word was invented.

Maybe because of the sound when makes when ralphing?

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s why.
Many years ago, National Lampoon did an article on different expressions for throwing up, and I think “calling Ralph,” etc., was one of them. The article may have been about the names Australians have for it, but the article came out so long ago that I’m not sure about that part.

The bottom right one was tricky for me. I almost didn’t get it.
