3077 BOMBINATE results

[Ryan McGill]

Hi all!

Here are your results for round 3077 for the word BOMBINATE, which is from the same root word used to describe a bumblebee and means to buzz or hum, and which netted me a D5, thanks to you savvy cats, whose voting showed a clear preference for bumblebee-adjacent definitions.

Da Winnah is Tim Lodge, who received an aberrant 7 for wandering aimlessly. "Real" winner honors go to Johnny Barrs with an aberrant 5.

Now, for our tabulation:

1. Having a spherical symmetry. — defined by Abell, who voted for 11 & 14, scoring a natural 1.

2. Subject to arbitrary bureaucracy, regulations or rules. — defined by Shepherdson, who voted for 10 & 16, scoring a natural 2.

3. (slang) A portmanteau of the words bomb and dominate. — defined by Leckenby, who voted for 2 & 13, scoring a natural 0.

4. To agree. — defined by Embler, who voted for 2 & 5, scoring a natural 1.

5. [Cryptography] To attack a cipher by brute force, usually with a dictionary of common words and derivatives. — defined by Widdis, who was DQ, scoring a natural 1.

6. To dislike, to seek to destroy [altered from abominate, infl. by bomb]. — defined by Keating, who did not appear to vote, scoring a natural 0.

7. To displace from one's native or accustomed environment. — defined by Madnick, who voted for 8 & 9, scoring a natural 1.

8. To dominate a conversation or to speak very loudly. — defined by Shefler, who voted for 8 & 16, scoring a natural 3.

9. To express oneself in a hyperbolic or vainglorious manner. — defined by Mallach, A., who voted for 8 & 14, scoring a natural 2.

10. To gallop. — defined by Mallach, E., who voted for 11 & 16, scoring an aberrant 3.

11. To make a buzzing noise. — defined by Oxford Online, which cannot vote, scoring a D5.

12. (slang) To play music loudly while driving. — defined by Naylor, who voted for 10 & 16, scoring a natural 0.

13. To rebuke or criticize loudly or angrily. — defined by Carson, who voted for 11 & 16, scoring an aberrant 3.

14. To speak in a puffed up or self important manner. — defined by Barrs, who voted for 7 & 11, scoring an aberrant 5.

15. To state in an arrogant manner. — defined by Bourne, who voted for 1 & 14, scoring a natural 0.

16. To wander aimlessly. — defined by Lodge, who voted for 4 & 11, scoring an aberrant 7.

Take it away, Tim!

Ryan,

I think I should have 4 points: votes from Nancy Shepherdson and Shani Naylor, both of which are recorded correctly below, plus two for guessing (and it really was guessing!) the correct def.

Thanks for correcting this,

Efrem
