My apologies for the 8 hour delay in posting.  Please choose the two most believable definitions from the list below. Any variations in punctuation, capitalization or spacing merely means that I did not take the time to harmonize the offerings. 

Deadline for voting will be Saturday noon, May 30. Happy hunting! 

Hiptiminigy:

1. sulky; resentful
2. Mean and stingy.
3. an unreasonable backpack
4. adv. Intensive, used to express exuberance of spirit. 
5. whorish, superficially appealing, pretentious.
6. a spontaneous cry of joyful amazement
7. A state of hypnosis due to the time of day and the sun in the sky. 
8. Sexual reproduction in an organism that typically reproduces asexually.
9. Attempted union of principles or parties irreconcilably at variance with each other.
10. a style of music made popular in the 1990s by groups such as Queen in which the important words were moved either forward or back a half-beat to add emphasis.
11. [Math.] the property of an abstract vector space possessing the structure of an inner product that allows length and angle to be measured.
12. A logical fallacy wherein the argument is simply restated in different terms rather than actually proving it; a circular argument.
13. A jerking or heaving sensation in the throat as a result of having drunk too much port.
14. a form of divination popular in Victorian England, based on examining the patterns made by seven sticks thrown on a surface.
15. a rare, inherited disease that affects the body's ability to metabolize  fat (cholesterol and lipids) within cells. Also called Niemann-Pick disease.
16. A rare behavioral syndrome characterized by inappropriate laughter and gesticulation, apparently triggered by ingestion of the mushroom agaricus mycotus.
17. primarily within neopaganism, the belief that humans possess six distinct selves: the body, or physical self; the intellect, or cognitive self; the soul, or deific self; the face, or social self; the heart, or personal self; and the genus, or generative self

Seventeen, eh! A goodly number!

Might as well reward that effort by choosing two of the higher-numbered ones: 15 and 17.

'Choose the two most believable' - you must be kidding. I don't believe any of them, but I'll vote for 6 and 14.

 6. a spontaneous cry of joyful amazement

14. a form of divination popular in Victorian England, based on examining the patterns made by seven sticks thrown on a surface.

Wow, what a choice!  Unreasonable backpacks, whorishness, hypnotism by summer, drinking too much port, ingesting mushrooms! Where do I start?

 

I think I’ll take the port and the mushrooms, please.  13 and 16.

When we finish the round, could you use the word in a sentence, please?

Joseph,

The only issue I see there is that many sentences can be made which are generic enough to not provide any useful context.

I think he meant after the votes are all in and the results are posted - perhaps in the results email itself.

As is often the case, none of them are compelling, but some are more absurd than others. I don’t know if either make any sense, but I rather like #11 and #17, so I’ll go with those.

I'll try a couple of abstract nouns, 9 and 12:

> 9. Attempted union of principles or parties irreconcilably at variance with
> each other.
