Rnd 3173: time to vote

[Johnb - co.uk]

The word is  DIAMICTITE

here are 12 defs from your fertile minds plus one from a dictionary- more than half are of a geologic nature. I decided against grouping them together so they are scattered through the list

please vote by public vote to the group by 10:am GMT Friday 11 June - other numbers but the same time where you are.

1              a type of schist found primarily in the Carpathian Mountains

2              a lobster trap; an undersea thermal vent of this shape

3              from the Greek, the idea of good actions always winning over evil actions

4              a rock consisting of lithified rubble whose origin is land erosion embedded in mudstone or sandstone

5              an achondritic stony meteorite that is composed chiefly of pigeonite and maskelynite

6              a formation produced by the interleaving of two basal minerals

7              typically black or brown granite with high quartz content

8              fine-grained, silt-size sediment formed by the mechanical erosion of bedrock at the base and sides of a glacier by moving ice

9              a drug used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and allow better flow of urine

10            a clay-like mineral use to produce the fine crackling on certain types of antique porcelain, particularly from the Qing dynasty

11            an imposter or fraud who believes himself (see _hypocrite_)

12            a lustrous mineral often mistaken for broken glass

13            a circus clown

I think I'll vote for what I think is the least-likely definition (particularly because my "best guesses" are usually wrong anyhow:

 

2              a lobster trap; an undersea thermal vent of this shape

13            a circus clown

[Paul Keating]

10 & 13 for me

[France International/Mike Shefler]

I'll avoid the minerals and vote for 11 and 13.

[Tim Lodge]

It doesn't seem very Barrs-like to deal a mineral, so I'll try two that aren't:  3 and 13, please.

            3              from the Greek, the idea of good actions always winning over evil actions

          13            a circus clown

#4 hearkens to the rubble between walls theme, and I’m curious if #5’s pigeonite is related to the rock pigeon

I'll take 10 and 11 for which we need another word (or 12) in these times.

Nancy

[Debbie Embler]

9 and 10 please

[Hero’s fall Cunningham]

4 for a mineral, and 13 for Barnum.

Dave

[Shani Naylor]

Avoiding the rocks, I'll vote 3 & 9.

[Ryan McGill]

8 & 12

[Tony Abell]

I'll avoid the minerals: 11 and 13:

> 11 an imposter or fraud who believes himself (see _hypocrite_)

> 13 a circus clown

[Efrem G Mallach]

A lot of people don't believe the minerals, but I (perhaps mistakenly) will go in that direction: two of the longer ones, 8 and 10.
