[Shani Naylor]

Good morning

I'm closing a little early as everyone who submitted a def has now voted.

Poddy-dodger is an Australian term meaning a person who steals unbranded cattle. Two perceptive players voted for it - Judy M & (at the last minute) Efrem M, making Efrem the overall winner with 5 points. Joint runners up are Judy & Johnny B (who was also DQ) with 3 points apiece.

Oops, I apologize for voting for myself, I think I mistyped my vote :|

[Paul Keating]

No need to apologize. It harms your possible score, and so it carries its own penalty, because in doing it you forgo one chance at guessing correctly. So players generally only do it for tactical reasons, myself among them.
