I don’t see mine either (Mike – I sent the def and a follow-up to sta...@salsgiver.com but never heard back – could you let me know?) – so, in the meantime, still not entirely convinced it’s a real word, I’ll vote for 4 and 9.

I didn't see mine either, then I realised it had more to do with my intake of champagne than Mike's admin!
Happy New Year, everyone!
My votes go to 7 and 11.
