Round 3158 GARGYSE Results

[Tim Lodge]

As everyone who submitted a def has voted - in a remarkably short time - I'm going to close the round early.  Alan Mallach is our new dealer, with 6 votes for his Greek grotesque, a clear 3 ahead of the runners-up, Judy Madnicj and Shani Naylor, who scored 3 each.  Only Deb Fein guseed that GARGYSE was a disease in cattle.

Over to you, Alan.

The new word, barring too many DQs, is:

 

FARCY

 

where capitalization has no significance. And to save trouble, it is NOT associated with farce, as in a light comedy.

 

Please send your creative yet plausible definition of FARCY to amal...@comcast.net by 8 AM EST on Friday, April 16, 2021  roughly 42 hours from now, which is:

 

Paris, France                                       Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 2:00 pm CEST      

London, United Kingdom                 Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 1:00 pm BST       

San Francisco, USA                            Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 5:00 am PDT       

Auckland, New Zealand                   Thu, Apr 15, 2021 at 12:00 midn NZST   

Tbilisi, Georgia                                   Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 4:00 pm GET       

 

And be careful to send it to me, not to the whole group.

 

If you know what FARCY means (or think you do) let me know ASAP.  

 

Alan
