Folks,

As you probably figured out from the subject line, the word for Round 3620 is 

**************
BOSAL
**************

Its capitalization here does not imply anything about how the word might actually be written.

Please send your fake definitions to emal...@verizon.net by 9 pm tomorrow in North American EST. That is also:

Chicago, USA           Thu, Feb 5, 2026 at 8:00 am CST
Los Angeles, USA       Thu, Feb 5, 2026 at 6:00 am PST
Wellington, NZ Fri, Feb 6, 2026 at 3:00 am NZDT
Paris, France           Thu, Feb 5, 2026 at 3:00 pm CET
London, UK  Thu, Feb 5, 2026 at 2:00 pm GMT

and other times in other places.

If you know what BOSAL means, please either let me know privately, or reply to the group with a message such as "I know this word" that does not offer any hint of its meaning. 

I expect votes to be due about 36 hours after the definition deadline.  

New players are welcome. Just send me a fake definition of BOSAL, unencumbered by any knowledge of its real meaning. 

Happy defining,

Efrem

OK, folks, that's two. Two so soon suggests that there will be more. Scratch "bosal." Replacement word soon.

Folks,

The replacement word for Round 3620 is:

**************
UVALA
**************
not to be confused with "uvula" in the throat.

Since there are still about 28 1/2 hours to go until the original deadline (below), it will stand unless a reason to extend it shows up later.

I'll use the definitions I've received for BOSAL if their submitters don't replace them or ask me not to.

An ala with a wavelength shorter than the visible spectrum, but longer than XALA.

Good one, Dan. I suppose IRALA would be an ala with a wavelength longer than the visible spectrum?

And this gives me an opportunity to correct an error: There were about 40 1/2 hours to the deadline when this was sent, not 28 1/2. Relax, everyone.
