Dave is our next winner, with 4 natural points for his Peruvian culture, with Dan on the same points, albeit unnatural, with his cooper's hoop.

The discussion after the last round about word sources was timely, as this is the first time I’ve dealt a word that I haven’t been able to find in a dictionary. A colatec, for those who haven’t googled it, is an seniors’ daytime disco in Korea. The rules refer to references in ‘magazine articles discussing recent coinages’ being acceptable and there are numerous mentions of colatec online, along with its etymology (such as here and YouTube video here). Anyway, I wondered what other players think about dealing such a word.

Welcome back Keith - great to hear from you!

Take it away Dave!

I think it’s fine once in a while, and for this word in particular since it’s well-attested for a few decades. I’d beware the slippery slope and would prefer it remains an occasional thing.

Thanks Dan & Debbie 

I'm not planning to make a habit of it, but I thought there might be the occasional word, like this one, that I might not otherwise deal because I couldn't find it in a dictionary.

New Word:   Alas:   Will be on the road from Thursday to a week hence.   My wife just had a bone biopsy yesterday, so I have to do a lot of driving without this computer, and my iphone is not happy with google.

Thanks Dave. Hope your wife is Ok. Do you want Dan to deal so it takes the pressure off and you can focus on your other important matters?

I think that last message was deferring the deal. I’ll find a word within a few hours.
