It wasn't so much that you were robbed as that
you were a victim of an age gap. Anyone in the work
world would know what "stays" are--heck, you're
supposed to take them out before you have the shirts
cleaned--but it is a little tricky for someone of college age.
In fairness to WWTBAM, I suppose that the vast
majority of their contestants are older than 22 or so and
would be expected to know that--it might actually be
tricky to come up with "easy" questions that someone in
every demographic group would get.
My 2
cents,
