One question....What does a cliff have to do with a face? Other then that I really liked it!
a cliff face, a very steep and smooth part of the cliff
i like ur teaser its simple (not 2 long and easy 2 read)! keep up the good work!
okay , i don't get TRIM . can somebody help me out ?
trim can be-
-To adjust (the sails and yards) so that they receive the wind properly
-To balance (an aircraft) in flight by regulating the control surfaces and tabs
-Decoration or ornament, as for clothing

to many possible responses. Stick to one, adj. or noun. bringing in both opens up subjectivity.
A dress doesn't necessarily have trim.
I only got #3 Good teaser!
I got 1 and 3 pretty easily, but couldn't figure out 2. But it made sense when I saw the answer.
A lot of ships don't use the term "trim" anymore either... none of our modern naval vessels have sails and such. But that doesn't mean the term isn't still in use, so it's still valid, just like dresses may or may not have trim.

Not to be nitpicky, but you don't TRIM a ship. You trim the sails on the ship, but not the ship itself.
Actually TRIM is a term used in ship design. I am a naval architect and a marine engineer so I am familiar with these terms.
The term TRIM is a measurement indicating how level the vessel is sitting in the water along its length.
When a vessel is TRIM it has the same draft measurement at the bow and the stern.
This is not to be confused with the sailing term "TRIM THE SAILS" used to describe a procedure done to the sails to adjust the sail's angle to the wind.

But I do not quite get the dress - trim association.
I thought #2 might be battle. Got the other two though. Fun quiz!
Luvajoke, what a cliff and a face have in common is the cliff face (don't laugh), the flat part somewhat perpendicular to the ground, the part you end up falling beside is you drive too fast
Oh, and great teaser, the only one I didn't get was Group B

Nice teaser, very enjoyable. Had to think a few minutes on the first one, but the rest came easily. Thanks for posting.
I didn't think of "trim" either,but it was a fun teaser. Thanks!
1 out of 3 means I didn't try long or hard enough! Thanks for posting!
low calorie beer is spelled "lite beer"
I always like it when I let it settle in & the answer comes! (except with 2 )...thank you!!
I actually think a better answer for Group B is "slip".
A slip can be something you wear under your dress
A slip is a place where you keep your boat
A slip is a maneuver when piloting an airplane
All very different uses, unlike trim which is essentially the same for boats and planes.

A good one, but over my head. I guess I did not stick with it long enough as the answer shows they were easy. Thanks for posting anyhow!
My answers for 1 and 3 matched, but I got "seam" for #2.
I also got a matching answer for A & C, but I came up with "FRAME" for group B. All 3 items in group B have a frame.
I got "female" for dress, ship,and airplane.
How does "trim" relate to aircraft?
When people appreciate something that they see and like they always refer to it as a "she" and say "She's nice and trim." Just an expression of approval. You are welcome!
I got A and C easily, but didn't get B. I like the suggestions for she and female as alternate answers for B, rather than trim. Enjoyed the quiz. Looking forward to more in the future.
I'm in the same A and C not B boat. My response for group B was "panels".
Fairly easy, although I believe a better answer for Group B is: Travel
A travel dress
Travel by ship
Travel by plane.
Surprised none of the ladies, picked up on this?
