Hi all,

Sorry for the delay in posting these definitions.  Extending the deadline, which was fully justified, did not fit in well with what I had to do today.

I want to note that we have 12 definitions, including the real one, because I thought to look in my junk folders (both emails).  There I found Hugo Kornelis and Tim Lodge.

So please vote for the two that attract you most by the deadline of 11:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday November 27.  That is 4:30 p.m. GMT on the same day and relevant times world wide.

Happy voting!

Nancy

5. [Obs.] to abruptly terminate an argument.

Nsncy,

I don't see my Colombian poncho here, or anything similar enough that it might be part of a combined definition. I sent it Sunday, at 6:36 pn EST, to your hotmail.com address as requested. Do you recall seeing it?

I sent my cactus-variant through this site.   As I lost a few defs, I suspect maybe Google is a problem?

Hi Nancy,

My def being in the junk folder probably means your email client has a better assessment than I do. ;)

My votes this round go to definitions #2 and #7, the Mexican coin and the laminated def.

Cheers,
Hugo

I do recall it, but I didn't see it when compiling defs, only your first one.  So 2 dealer points to you.

Both hotmail and gmail ate one so I don't think it's exclusively google.

I'll fall for:

#5 - terminate an argument  (because the word sounds obsolete)

#12 - because it sounds like one of those weird music terms


5 & 12

With the right music, you either forget everything...OR, you remember everything.

Well, it's a more amusing reason than my normal process of elimination.
