14 definitions, one is from a dictionary - please vote ... rules:

  • do not look up before voting
  • vote for two of the definitions with an email to the group
  • deadline 20:00 GMT Sunday (and elsewhere as appropriate)

1                            collective term for the followers of certain religous movements such as Amish and Mennonites that sought to live a "rude", i.e. simple, life

2                            a fossil mollusc of the order Hippuritoida (or Rudistes)

3                            noncomformists

4                            one who mocks

5                            spreaders or spacers used in canvas-covered airplane construction

6                            cherries of a golden color

7                            an early 19th century Northumbrian circle of Romantic thinkers who most notably vilified formal education, particularly grammar schools, espousing rather the ideal of the innately good child in the vein of Rousseau and Wm. Blake, among others. The Rudists took great inspiration from Wordsworth’s poem, “The Tables Turned”, published in his influential 1798 Lyrical Ballads in which he writes, “let nature be your teacher”. Among their number were average-adjuster and poet Edward Irving Todd (1790?-1861), notorious for his 1825 poem "Lady Grammar, Damn Her!", George Thomas Rudd (1795-1847), clergyman and founder of the Royal Entomological Society, and Durham wool merchant Paul Hood (1786-1846). Not to be confused with the Roodists, 18th century Calvinist ministers who favored a simple crucifix over the complete abstention from church adornment practiced by their peers

12                            the stress bars that brace the frame (plate) of a piano

13                            people who shun or avoid sunlight; Heliophobes

With the right music, you either forget everything...OR, you remember everything.

6 has no rationale, and 7 took time to write.

I feel as though I should reward the author of the lengthy Romatic thinkers for effort, and the Scottish lambs might just be right.  7 and 14.

I'll be back after I listen to a few favorite Scottish folk songs, hearing for any words ending in "-ist".

I have another question about the rules: if a word chosen by the dealer has an apostrophe (e.g. Parkinson's) is he obligated to include it in the announcement of a new word? I do not seem to have been able to find any rules about it on dixonary.net.

My understanding is that the word must be presented correctly - if it has an apostrophe or accent, for example, it should be included.

In my experience dictionaries do not usually include possessives - except in compound words like "mercy's sake" therefore fore a single word I would suspect that if there is an apostrophe it would have to be there as part of the definition - as in "o'brienism"

Either 7 is real or its composer deserves a point for effort. Might as well try 14 for the other.

I'll just take 1 and 2, since I don't have time to read all the way through
definition 7 in any case.

I like 5, but I don't really know why. It's just...quirky. And 6...there should be a unique name for these so...yeah.

Perhaps I am unused to dictionaries, but I am neglecting the defs that seem like they can easily have been singular entries and the ones that were defined as singular, leaving me with 1, 2, 7, and 11. I am eliminating 7 for the final bit of the def and 1 for using the pronoun "that" rather than "who".

I am voting for 2 and 11.
