I wish dealers would stop forgetting to include the real definition. :-(

 

Since I have to vote to play the game, I'll go with these, although I don't really believe them:

 

 

8.            [Can. sl.]  A person of Franco-Scottish ancestry.

12.          The eco-system found on the machair, a habitat occurring on the coasts of some Scottish islands.

[Daniel B Widdis]

I’ll take 8 for the Canadian slang with the odd mixture of Scottish and French, and the eponymous 13 for luck and to reward its author, though I don’t believe it one bit.

 

[Guerri Stevens]

I vote for 1 and 11

This life is temporary. This life is short.  When this life is over, our bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to live forever.  Where will the “real you” live?  Will you live for all eternity separated from God?  Or will you spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven?   Learn more so you can make your most important decision:

Since we're currently planning a touring holiday in the Canadian Maritimes for next summer, I have

Best wishes,

I'll try 8 and 13:

8. [Can. sl.] A person of Franco-Scottish ancestry.

13. Stirrup block chair: Jack Macquigon was a dwarf and has given his name to a chair which he carried behind him to enable him to mount.

I'll go for 3, since I don't know what it means, and the charming 13:

> 3. A twinned crystal.

Vox pop - 8 and 13

Maybe it's because I'm hungry, but I'll go with two of the food-related definitions: #2 and #10. (Granted, a donut hole isn't all that filling.)
