Congratulations! Your "always use the same answer" algorithm has succeeded!
Roc must ROCMUST
become (indicates an anagram) => SCROTUM
bawbag in Glasgow Glasgow is in Scotland, and "BAWBAG" is scottish slang for SCROTUM
Technically, that probably means you should set one tomorrow, but I'd rather not see your account banned again, so ...

I can see it now, sCCCrotum OTD, the answer is always scrotum and the aim is to come up with a unique question everyday.

Might get a little boring after a while, but whatever floats your boat, mate - you go for it!
As long as there are no "SCROTUM OTD" pictures ...

Too many letters for scrotum.

Thankfully, yes.
Is there any particular reason why the answer might have been "SCROTUM"? It isn't, in case you were wondering.

I've never come close to knowing the answer to one, so when I do check I look for 7 letters and then answer scrotum. Only been 7 letters the one time of the few I have checked, wasn't scrotum then either.

Well ... it's definitely 9 letters (I checked), so SCROTUM wouldn't have worked at all.
TESTICLES would be the right length - but it would also have been the wrong answer in case you were tempted to try it.

I love adopting new tech, jumping in early and spending weeks getting a handle on some new framework, tool set, paradigm or methodology. NOT
I loathe the current web stack with it's myriad of javascript frameworks and have refused to have anything to do with it for LOB work.
So I stumbled across the new Blazor framework from Microsoft, the presentation made it look simple, based in c#, build in VS and I don't need to deal with javascript to any great degree.
However having waited 2 years for Silverlight to stabilise and then doing another 3-4 years of development only to have add in support withdrawn from browsers I not enamoured with getting into another web framework.
Is there any confidence this framework will become accepted.

I personally find the framework very interesting. I think Blazor is going to be incredibly a hit and that's because I see WebAssembly as actually superseding JavaScript. Sure, JavaScript and it's frameworks aren't going anywhere, but why would you teach a new programmer JavaScript when you can just teach them C#, Python, etc.. and have them work with simpler tools in a more performant environment?
That being said.. Blazor is still on it's experimental stage and we can't guarantee anything until it will be officially released.

My disgust with the current web stack is unbounded, after the elegance of Silverlight and it's demise I walked away from web development completely, concentration on WPF - I like xaml binding.
So the attraction of a single development platform is very attractive. I just might devote some time to Blazor.

Having been burnt in the past by poorly implemented (or withdrawn a la Silverlight) shiny new stacks/libraries/frameworks, I tend to treat the latest new stuff with caution. I now try to do as much as possible using only the standards that all browsers support. This makes my apps look pedestrian, but I don't have to maintain them as often.
It helps that my "clients" are tech types internal to the company. They are also less enamoured of the latest "shiny shiny" than the marketing types. 
IOW, you may not want to use it, but I predict that your clients/manager/marketing staff will insist that you do. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Crap they LOVE shiny and the boss has an ear attuned to the latest and not so greatest. Although they are moving steadily away from MS products, python is the current flavour.
I want this for personal and possibly SME solutions from now on and there is no current project to work on so exploring is on the cards.

Then you'll want to introduce them to this[^], they will love it.
