Round 3123 CARTONNAGE time to vote!

[Shani Naylor]

Hi all

We have a grand total of 15 defs for your perusal - 14 of them are fakes and one is the real McCoy. Please vote for two by the deadline.

 

1.            Packaging

2.            Recycling unwanted or unused gifts.

3.            The hobby of collecting cigarette cards.

4.            A heavy quadrilled paper used for postage stamps.

5.            The cards used in cartomancy (divination by cards)

6.            The map inset that explains symbols and scale of the map.

7.            A stiff compact pasteboard, often having a polished surface.

8.            A drawing or set of drawings made in preparation for weaving a tapestry.

9.            In literary criticism, the formal analysis of narrative arc and its inflection points.

10.          Neologism coined by environmentalists to criticize excessive use of packaging for products.

11.          A painting style characterized by broad, heavy brush strokes and using bold, vibrant colors.

12.          An ancient Egyptian mummy case made of tightly fitting layers of linen or papyrus glued together.

13.          A caterer's fee for serving bag-in-box wine supplied by the customer [< carton + -age suffix, by analogy with corkage]

14.          A tax first imposed in 1643 by the French monarchy on goods transported into Paris, abolished after the French Revolution.

15.          An additional freight fee charged to the consignor by a carrier where extra packaging is required before a clean bill of lading can be issued.

The deadline is around 36 hours from now - I'll post details later (I've just realised I've made a mistake, but keen to get this out).

[Paul Keating]

8 & 14 for me, on the Sherlock Holmes principle.

[France International/Mike Shefler]

I'll go with 14 and 15.

[Ryan McGill]

I work in shipping (as it intersects with publishing and, to a lesser extent, academia) and have never heard the term used to that end, so I'll vote for my own potential ignorance with 1 (which is called dunnage where I am) and 15 (which is rather unheard of).

I wish freight companies gave two whits about how our packages arrived. The pallet I got Wednesday was dreadful. Far from the worst I've gotten, but easily the worst in 5 years—cartons smashed, even re-stacked after they'd clearly been knocked off the pallet, with the stretch wrap just kind of draped over the boxes. Just no effort was put into making it even look passable.

TL;DR: 1 & 15 "to prove I read them all".

;-)

[Hero’s fall Cunningham]

DQ as I feared.

Dave (spent a week in GA for Thanksgiving - nice crisp weather)

[Hugo Kornelis]

Hi Shani,

I'll pick #7 and #9, because I really have no clue at all.

Cheers,
Hugo

Looking for the least likely — I'll try these:

 

8.            A drawing or set of drawings made in preparation for weaving a tapestry.

[Tim Lodge]

I'll take the painting style and the French tax:  11 and 14, please.

        11.          A painting style characterized by broad, heavy brush strokes and using bold, vibrant colors.

        14.          A tax first imposed in 1643 by the French monarchy on goods transported into Paris, abolished after the French Revolution.

It can’t possibly be 13 but the author deserves a vote for chutzpah.

Shani – I’m going to go with 1 and 8. I happen to know (like, I suspect, most of the players) that there’s a not-too-different word that is customarily used for #8, but who knows, this might be a variant.
