Hi Mike,

I don't believe any of these. I don't even believe peesker is a real world. I think you just dropped the scrabble bag and decided to just run with it. ;)

Clueless and idealess, I'll waste my votes on definitions 6 (the fountain) and 9 (the porter).

Cheers,
Hugo

I narrowed it down to eight. Then I narrowed it down to four. Having thus probably eliminated the real definition, I'll vote for 2 and 9.

Mike - #9 looks most plausible, but as Sherlock Holmes might have said, too plausible….

 

I’m going with 3 and 10.
