I'll take 1 (a stupid fellow; a poor-spirited person) and 14 (a farmer's cart), two very different definitions, but at least I've shown that I've read'em all.

My votes g for 1 and 13 mainly because I love the idea of having a name for when I bump my heard: "Oh - I got a maffie" . Just makes me laugh.

1,  [Colloq.] a stupid fellow; a poor-spirited person.

13.  [Scot.] a bump on the head from a blow or other impact.

now that is an interesting one - "reply x" strikes again -

this one arrives at me as to "Dix group - from Dix Group" looking at source for the message eventually I can see it is from Lorise <lor...@aol.com>  maybe one of the computer geeks can explain how that happened

also - as  'reply list' it tells me now that it is from Lorise - see below - but just reading the message shows only to to and from as the group

I’m fond of 9 and 13.

 

[Dave Cunningham]

1 and 11 today -- definitely unlikely to be a compliment I suspect.
