Round 3578 NURGLE results

[Glenn Thomas Davis]

Rey made a truly impressive showing this round—not only are they the only person who knew the actual definition of the word (wow!), their tangled mass is the clear winner with 8 natural points. However, Rey is traveling and cannot deal. This makes runner-up Tim Lodge our next dealer with six natural points. Huzzah! I should note that Judy Madnick gets 2 dealer points because our scatterbrained facilitator neglected to include her excellent made-up definition a minor flaw in a molded item, such as a bubble or crease, that doesn’t affect function but fails quality control.

 A nurgle, apparently, is a short, squat little savage man, as in the phrase "Ach! I'd steer clear of that Ricky Gervais, I would. 'E's a nurgle if I've ever seen one, 'e is." It's Scottish, you see, as in the trusty old https://electricscotland.com/history/jamieson/102DictLetterN1880.pdf:​

 

One more note: given that I received ​one correct guess and one DQ, I don't know if I am officially D1 or D2.

Best of luck to Tim on the next round!

Cheers—Glenn​

That comes as a complete surprise  - I only had a couple of votes last time I looked, and I didn't realise I'd hit the real def. New word coming up shortly.
