[Dixonary] Round 3825 new word GARRIGUE

[Efrem Mallach]

You know the drill. Please send fake defs to emal...@verizon.net by 3:30 pm Western Europe Time (WET). That happens to be the same as GMT (or UTC if you're a pedant, as many of us are, or U.K. time, or whatever) on Sunday, February 22. It's a bit more than 44 hours from when this message was sent. Do your own time conversion if necessary.

Don't Reply to this message to send your fake def, as that will give it away to everyone.

If you're new here, just send me a definition of GARRIGUE that you invented without knowing its real meaning,

If you know what GARRIGUE means, let us know by Reply to this message. Don't say anything that hints at its meaning. Just tell us you know it. Please do that quickly so I don't have to move the deadline out when I deal a replacement word.

This deadline was chosen for a time when I expect to have Internet access at the dock in Lanzarote before we sail. if that's a bad guess, the voting list may by delayed until Monday morning - but I hope not!

The round number in the subject line should be 3625, not 3825. Sorry about that. It won't affect anything, and will be corrected in future messages.

I know that word, or at least, what it means in its original language.

Thanks for being prompt, Paul. That's one. Two before bed this evening (CET) will suffice.

With two players knowing what "guarrigue" means (it's a type of terrain; look it up if you're curious to know more) and my bumping against a time when I will have to go dark for a while, I'm going to pull the plug on it,

The new word is:

*******************

ANCON

*******************

Everything below, including the deadline, still applies.

If I have to replace this word, it may take a while.

Two defs were submitted for GARRIGUE. (You know who you are.) I'll use them if their submitters don't replace them.

The round number in the subject line has been corrected.

Don't make me feel bad about my willingness to allow two DQs! LOL!

Two is borderline in my book. If they show up early and I'll be offline for a while starting soon, I'll replace the word. If they show up later so I have a higher confidence level that there won't be more, I won't. It's a judgment call. This time, I came down on the side of caution.

I just knew I didn't have time to find a new word.
