Cheers,

I don't think any are believable. After I eliminated all those centered in SE Asia or thereabouts, and one definition that's been played before, I had it filtered down to 4 left, so I'm voting for 5 and 12.

I'll choose 7 because of its awkward, redundant wording and 8 just because:

[Daniel B. Widdis]

I'll go with 6 for the voodoo and 9 for the gecko gekko gecko.
