Well, as usual Cory refused to cooperate with Outlook 2019 so your beleaguered Dealah had to score manually.  Hopefully he has correctly accounted for all the votes and added them up error free.  That’s a long shot but until I’ve gotten around to satisfactorily designing a scoring spreadsheet it will have to do.

 

Voting on round 3040 produced a tie between Judy Madnick and Efrem Mallach, whose definitions polled a natural 6.  Efrem leads in the rolling scores (5 round total) by one measly point and so gets to deal again. Judy can heave a sigh of relief and rest in the “Real Winner” position.

 

In the coveted second place with 5 points is Debbie Embler.

 

The true definition was 3: "The residue left in a still after the process of distillation." (AHD 5), which no-one guessed, giving your Dealah a D0.

 

1. A shoe or boot with an elongated pointed toe,

    fashionable in the 16th century.     Votes from:   Embler, Lodge, McGill, and Shepherdson

    Submitted by: Naylor, who scores natural 4.

2. A glass-like ceramic material.     No votes

    Submitted by: Abell.

3. The residue left in a still after the process of

    distillation.     No votes     Real definition from AHD 5

4. Grape juice before or during fermentation.     No votes

    Submitted by: Widdis.

5. A sturdy, textured, usually cotton fabric having a

    puckered or quilted appearance, often used in bedding and

    upholstery.     Votes from:   Bourne, Cunningham, Dixon, Mallach, Naylor, and Widdis

    Submitted by: Madnick, who scores natural 6.!!

6. A small saucer used by wine tasters (see also _tastevin_).     No votes

    Submitted by: Cunningham.

7. [Pharm.] A drug that reverses the steroidal action of

    viagra type products, can be used as a male contraceptive,

    and is undergoing suitability testing.     No votes

    Submitted by: Barrs (DQ).

8. (Fr.) The bloom or white dust-like substance on grapes

    which prevents moisture loss and is harmless to eat.     Votes from:   Abell, Mallach, and McGill

    Submitted by: Shepherdson, who scores natural 3.

9. A small glass used for wine tasting.     Votes from Shepherdson

    Submitted by: Bourne, who scores a natural 1

10. A coarse homespun cotton cloth from India.     Votes from:   Bourne, Cunningham, Lodge, Madnick, Naylor and Shefler

    Submitted by: Mallach, who scores natural 6.!!

11. Any drug or agent for reducing fever.     No votes

    Submitted by: Lodge.

12. The production of very fine silk and saris, brocades of

    gold and silver thread work, which are used for weddings

    and special occasions.     Votes from:   Abell, Dixon, Madnick, Shefler, and Widdis

    Submitted by: Embler, who scores natural 5.

13. A pseudo-religious ritual or custom based on denial;

    asceticism.     Vote from:    Embler

How clever of me to have avoided the wine-based definitions.

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

Ouch! I apologize for the microfont in my posting.  I searched and search for a way to ‘unzoom’ Outlook’s display and finally shrunk the font to a workable size for editing.  Of course I then forgot to expand it back to normal.

Steve, I eliminated all the wine and cloth related definitions, leaving me with only 5 other definitions from which to choose. And I still failed to find the correct definition!

~Bending under the weight of His mercies~

The God Who created everything there is, is also rich in mercy and love towards us.  But man’s sinfulness has separated us from God.Sin is missing the mark of being 100% holy as God is holy—His will for us.  God demonstrated His love by becoming like us, only perfectly, living, walking, teaching, healing, among us, and then dying publicly and finally rising from the dead 3 days later. This sacrificial death PAID for our sins and CREDITS us with His righteousness when we believe in Him and what He did. By 100% relying on Messiah’s work and not our own good deeds, He saves us and gives us eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the Gift of God is eternal life through Jesus  the Lord.Would you accept this Jesus into your life and His forgiveness of your sin?

Congratulations on the D0, Chris!

My original definition, which I sent to the whole group by mistake and had to replace, was wine-related. Had I not goofed, had I been awake enough to send it only to Chris, I would surely have received fewer votes. Serves me right. I'll be more careful next time!

Anyhow, new word coming no later than early afternoon in the eastern U.S. I expect definitions to be due about 48 hours from now, 9 am Saturday in that same time zone.

You can credit yourself with an assist on the D0, though, Efrem.

 

Your Dixon made the similar real def seem less likely in my mind!

 

Well played, Chris!
