3077 BOMBINATE vote
Ryan McGill
We have sixteen definitions for BOMBINATE, which have been mildly edited for consistency in formatting and then sorted in alphabetical order. Despite many similarities, I have not combined any, as most seemed to be different enough. Any errors remaining are surely artifacts of my intervention.
1. Having a spherical symmetry.
2. Subject to arbitrary bureaucracy, regulations or rules.
3. (slang) A portmanteau of the words bomb and dominate.
4. To agree.
5. [Cryptography] To attack a cipher by brute force, usually with a dictionary of common words and derivatives.
6. To dislike, to seek to destroy [altered from abominate, infl. by bomb].
7. To displace from one's native or accustomed environment.
8. To dominate a conversation or to speak very loudly.
9. To express oneself in a hyperbolic or vainglorious manner.
10. To gallop.
11. To make a buzzing noise.
12. (slang) To play music loudly while driving.
13. To rebuke or criticize loudly or angrily.
14. To speak in a puffed up or self important manner.
15. To state in an arrogant manner.
16. To wander aimlessly.
I have checked my SPAM folder, and the only messages I received were offers to augment my income or my love life, so I'm relatively certain none of them came from anyone on this forum (aside from the bots). If I still somehow missed your definition, please let me know.
Those new to the game may vote, as may veteran players and those who did not submit a definition. But do please vote before looking the word up.
Deadline for voting shall be 13:00 UTC on Wednesday, the 3rd of June, 2020, provided that gives enough leeway. You can verify your local time here: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=BOMBINATE+votes+due&iso=20200603T15&p1=1440

There’s a lot of overlap here. I’ll go with 8 and 14, which are similar but not identical.

One of these definitions was verified by a dictionary source. The remainder were clever deceptions dreamed up by your fellow players. Please vote for two by public reply to this message.

Or, as Mrs. Malaprop might have put it, “this is a bombination!”

There's a lot of bombinating here. I'll buck the trend and avoid anything reminiscent of "bombastic." Of the remaining ones, I'll try 11 and 16.
