[Tim Lodge]

I wasn't able to post a reminder, and that - combined with the fact that it's a weekend - means that we have only 10 defs of the word GARTIE for your delectation and delight. Please vote for your two favourites before the deadline of:

          10:00 BST on Tuesday 18th June which is:
          09:00 GMT/UTC
          11:00 CET
           5:00 AM EDT
           2:00 AM PDT
          21:00 NZST

New players are welcome - just don't look up the word until after you've voted.

~Bending under the weight of His mercies~

This life is temporary. This life is short.  When this life is over, our bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to live forever.  Where will the “real you” live?  Will you live for all eternity separated from God?  Or will you spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven?   Learn more so you can make your most important decision:

3 and 8, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

I can't resist #4 and I'll also vote for #1 because I don't know what it means.

I'll go with 2 and 4.

[Tony Abell]

I'll throw votes at 4 and 8:

>  4.         the giving of a shoe as surety of an agreement.

[Daniel Widdis]

4 has to be true.  If not, its author deserves points for creativity.

 

And 8 to keep on the theme of footwear.

 

[Johnb - co.uk]

I'll go for two inside the limits - #2 and #9 please

I'll try 4, which is absurd enough that it could be real, and 5, which there ought to be a word for even if it isn't this one.
