Here are 15 definitions for PEAZZ, one of which came from a respectable dictionary.
Vote for your two favorites no later than 5:00 PM EDT, Monday, June 20.

1.  to become angry or excited.

2.  the central sanctuary of an Inca temple.

3.  dense dirty yellowish fog.

4.  to urinate in the open.

5.  a raised roadway for horses to an upper floor.

6.  [Obs.] a diviner or soothsayer; by extension, any kind of expert.

7.  a rock-climbing toehold that novice climbers can reach and utilize.

8.  a  toll house.

9.  a thick pap or pottage made of meal, pulse, etc.

10.  Slang term for a fine looking woman or girl. The term originated from
male dominated tabletop gaming related internet forums in the 1990s,
probably as a contraction of pe(rfect) ass.

11.  a type of stitch that was created to help prevent fraying when the
fabric is cut away. The knot formed at the top of the stitch makes
the thread less likely to unravel should it get broken.

12.  a small table or stand, as for holding a candelabrum.

13.  an ornamental headdress, worn on festive occasions by women in the
Carpathian Mountains.

14.  a kind of pink limestone.

15.  a sleeping tablet of which the active ingredient is Pisum sativum
(garden pea).

Um. Yeah.
Clueless.

Let's just throw some votes at #9 and #14, the limestone pottage.

Cheers,
Hugo

For want of any better ideas, I'll go for the rock: 7 and 14.

 7.  a rock-climbing toehold that novice climbers can reach and utilize.

14.  a kind of pink limestone.

9 and 10, despite my better judgment as regards the likelihood of 10. It's weird enough to maybe be real.

Wow – another collection of implausible specimens.

With nothing better in mind, I’ll go for 9 and 14.
