I can't resist 8, and 5 seems more believable than the rest.

[Tim Lodge]

I'll try 1 and 11.

 1. any of several bitter herbs of the goldenseal family, used to treat digestive disorders or as an emetic in stronger doses

11.scaled

[Dave Cunningham]

2 and 7 this time out. 

Dave (almost beating Google - it still tries shoving me into the "new and improved" monstrosity)

[Paul Keating]

Scot. sounds plausible (2 and 5), but I'll only take one of them: 2.

For my implausible vote I have to choose between 7 and 8. Sorry, Johnny, but I'm voting for the inspiredly bizarre 8.

Regards

[Shani Naylor]

I'll go Scotch 2 & 5.

[Efrem G Mallach]

6 and 9 for me, please.

(Deleting the others renumbers everything, so they're in white text below. Paul - this can happen when a numbered list is copied from, say, Word and pasted into an email.)

[Johnb - co.uk]

I guess my def didn't make it so...

The idea of lizrd like prose is too good to not deserve a vote and goldenseal reminds me that it has a  strange reproductive cycle so #1 and 8 for me please

[Paul Keating]

Johnny, I was convinced 7 was yours. Clearly someone is emulating your style. Or maybe it's even the real def and I should've voted for it after all.

[Christopher Carson]

I can’t resist VOX POP so I’ll drop my votes on 2 and 8.

Basta. Adesso finita la commedia.

 

[Ryan McGill]

1 & 12, though I believe none.
