Defs for Wibble … on tap

[Collect47]

Please vote for two of the following before Friday night at, say, 7 pm EDT … one is real, the rest fake, and the word is not “widdle” for sure!


1. a short, high-pitched trill at the end of a bird song.

2. of a river, to have meandered to such an extent that ox-bow-lakes have formed, and the now relatively straight path of the river is bordered by wibbles — the historic meanders.

3. to splash or agitate (a liquid).

4. a loop or ring of leather, cord, etc. through which the end of a Scout’s neckerchief are threaded.

5. red breed of domestic rabbits.

6. to speak foolishly.

7. an injury to the hind leg of a horse caused by its being struck by the shoe of the other hind foot.

8. a playful, twisting leap made by a rabbit with a 180 degree turn in midair.

9. a destructive or troublesome insect or small animal.

10. to compain lengthily and without justification.

11. a large stiff, usually lace, collar that dominated fashion in the late 16th and 17th centuries, and was a symbol of wealth, prestige, and social status.

One by one I eliminated definitions...until there were none left, so I had to start all over again and ended up with these:

 

6. to speak foolishly 

and

10. to compain lengthily and without justification (in spite of the misspelling)
