Each extension collected one additional submission, giving you all a total of ten candidates for your votes.
I’ll set the voting deadline in 38 hours at 8 am PDT on Wednesday, May 17. That’s 11am EDT, 4 pm BST at the Greenwich Meridian and elsewhere in the UK, 5pm CEST at la Méridienne de France and in most of Europe, and in the wee hours of Thursday morning at 1 am AEST in Melbourne and 3 am NZST in Auckland.
*** SHAKESPEARE-NAVELS ***
1. [Mil. slang] Indentations in a cannonball to increase its range by creating a thin layer of turbulence that reduces drag. (Origin unk., prob. 19c. UK)
2. Small pits or depressions typical of the area around Stratford-on-Avon and now thought to be the result of flint extraction in Neolithic times.
3. Doggerel verse, based on Shakespearean sonnets, popular in 19th century vaudeville.
4. the central themes of Shakespeare's writings.
5. Bad poetry.
6. A type of backless sandal.
7. A long-pointed, turned-down collar
8. Shakespeare's spelling of nave - hence the nave of a church
9. Believed to be the orb of all conscious inspiration and artistic expression.
10. common Shakespeare misquotes, e.g., "gilding the lily" (actual quote: "To gild refined gold, to paint the lily...")

But you could have done that in iambic pentameter:
