The hangman game backward #2

Question

Hangman game backward version 2 - guess what was the question, with only 1 letter missing:

fill in a "b" - I might lose control anytime, so keep me on my toes.
fill in an "m" - my brothers are all metalhead but me.
fill in a "p" - my buddy has two big tusks and loves to carry me around all day long.
fill in a "w" - This is usually where the presidents stay.

Again, your answer can be in the form of:

The question was: _ p p l e

followed by explanation.

Great problem! I actually use all four things so they were all in my domain. I think this solution is harder for people who aren't actually familiar with the words. — LeppyR64, Apr 29 '15 at 19:38
@JasonLepack Nice one! I can understand with wallet, mallet and pallet, but I am just curious if ballet applies too? — Alex, Apr 29 '15 at 19:55
Absolutely. Not so much now but more when I was younger. My kids watch the wiggles now and Emma does it all the time. — LeppyR64, Apr 29 '15 at 20:09
Please post more of these. It was bugging the heck out of me yesterday and I'd love to see more! — generalcrispy, Apr 30 '15 at 14:50

The question was:

_allet

fill in a "b" - I might lose control anytime, so keep me on my toes.

Ballet - Dancers dance on their toes all the time

fill in an "m" - my brothers are all metalhead but me.

Mallet - Rubber or sometimes wooden headed hammer, as opposed to the metal ones.

fill in a "p" - my buddy has two big tusks and loves to carry me around all day long.

Pallet - They are usually picked up by forklifts

fill in a "w" - This is usually where the presidents stay.

Wallet - Presidents is a slang term for money in the USA because all of their bills have pictures of their presidents.

Nicely done and well explained, +1 – Alex Apr 29 '15 at 19:14 — Alex, Apr 29 '15 at 19:14
