I’m the ending a fight that comes after you’ve kissed;
I’m a second exam when the first one you’ve missed;
I’m applying cosmetics where they might assist;
And inventing a story that doesn’t exist.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Elizabeth. See comments for answer.

I’m a unit of life; I’m a portable phone;
I’m a room in a prison where convicts are thrown;
I’m a box with a column and row of my own;
And a small group of terrorists working alone.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

I’m a whimsical gait that’s a step and and a hop;
When a train only makes every alternate stop;
Throw a stone in a lake so it skims off the top;
And I’m missing a class to sleep in or to shop.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

I’m a planned social function where people can meet;
A rotating device used for blending concrete;
An electric appliance for eggs you would beat;
And I’m used to make liquor more sour or sweet.

Who am I?

I’m a series of drawings a painter might need;
I’m the research a thesis will use to proceed;
I’m reviewing your notes for a test to succeed;
And a room in your house used to work or to read.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher Susswein. See comments for answer.

I am two guns or more that are used in a war;
I am testing galore that’s combined for a score;
An attack you are sure that you never asked for;
And an energy store that you keep in a drawer.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by DeLisa. See comments for answer.

I’m the payoff in poker for winning a hand;
A container for plants that allows them to stand;
A Cambodian chief who a genocide planned;
And I’m slang for a substance that’s famously banned.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Elizabeth. See comments for answer.

I’m Chopin the composer, or John Paul the pope;
Used for catching a fish; or for walking the rope;
Used for vaulting the bar; or for skiing the slope;
I’m the end of the earth; and a car racer’s hope.

Who am I?

I’m the moving of goods from a revenue graph;
I’m the rate that employers might gain or lose staff;
Lost possession in football on downs or a gaffe;
And a tasty fruit pastry that’s folded in half.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

I’m a strike or a spare; I’m when papers you grade;
I will follow a question; how Germans were paid;
To take heed of wise words; make a Z with a blade;
I’m the start line in track; and by cons I am played.

Who am I?
