I totally see the reasoning but it is something else.

Yes.
We use the same word for both squid and octopus.

Interesting, wouldn't have thought both of those creatures share the same word

Few more guesses for me: shield cartilage refers to a fingernail or skin

Forehead lobe is the temple

And dust rat is a chinchilla

Shield cartilage and forehead lobe are both anatomical terms but they refer to other structures than what you guessed :)

Dust rats are not living things.

Hmm, so is the dust rat what we call a dust bunny? A bunch of dust, hair and other small debris clinging together?

Well they do look similar, but bunnies are much fluffier and cuter! :3

Also going to take another stab at forehead lobe and guess it refers to the frontal lobe of the brain

Actually wait, is the forehead lobe eyebrows? That's all I can guess because in all honesty, what else is on your forehead :<

(I didn't peek at that in case it is correct; earth geezer was the only one I could find)

It is a specific job/position as a politician.

Correct! And I think that is the right spelling. Head waiter is a synonym according to a dictionary I looked at.

Hovmstare = Court master = Maitre D/Head waiter

Undantagstillstnd = Exception state = State of emergency

There can be multiple study horses at a school though, so valedictorian isnt the right word.

Think more along the lines of someone who is good in school but also a bit teased for it.

Shield cartilage is more internal, but it is visible externally (on men at least).
