While traveling through Tennessee and Georgia, I was struck with the numerous signs advertising Rock City, Lookout Mountain, Georgia. The area is well known for the many barn advertisements throughout the Southeast and Midwest United States that have the slogan "See Rock City" painted on roofs and sides.
The Rock Riddles originated in my mind as rock people who lived in Rock City, had rock gardens, slept in rock beds, and their daily lives depended upon things associated with rocks, stones, minerals, and particles. The English language uses many references to things that are rock-like in their vocabulary both as idioms, homonyms, and word usage such as "pay dirt," "marriages on the rocks," and "rock hounds". Much of the Rock's humor depends upon homonyms, which are words that sound alike and sometimes spelled differently but mean different things. Some answers cannot be found in the dictionary but are common American slang phrases such as "A chip off the old block."
The hint to all the rock riddle questions is that the answer will refer to something associated with rocks, stones, or minerals. Some are simple but gradually will challenge your imagination.
