Actually I wanted to play "SHIP LOAD" but couldn't see any
sensible way of eliminating the usual load of cobblers. It is a
weight measure for coal = one Ship Load = 20 keels (= about 430
tons (tonnes)) used in 20th Century for coals from Newcastle ...
however
so, in keeping with the political and seasonal festivities I ask for definitions and DQs for RUDISTS
Don't look it up but please submit to jo...@john-barrs.co.uk or johnn...@gmail.com
Time frame - by 10pm GMT tomorrow 6th December and other times appropriately
Thanks

I think we would know what a single letter meant, but we have
played several two letter words

Some players (1842) regard everything after the headword in a dictionary en- try as the definition. That is not how lexicographers see it. For them, it is a dictionary article, which may contain one or several definitions; but also an etymology, citations, various kinds of label, and so forth. None of these other elements is, strictly speaking, part of the definition. The lexicographers’ acceptation of definition must be decisive in this game, since we are all playing at being lexicographer.
Dealers often present a dictionary article rather than just a bald definition. Rule 3(b) leaves the dealer a free hand with nondefinition parts of the source dictionary article. Dealers routinely reorder, abbreviate or suppress labels, cross-references, citations and etymologies. Abbreviating an etymology needs skill if the result is not to look fictitious (566). If in doubt, omit an over- long etymology rather than shorten it.
My interpretation of this is that posting only the first part would be fine.
