Found somewhere in the dictionary between bowat and bowfarts is:
 
*** BOWDLERIZE ***

Please send me your fabulous, fanciful, fictitious, fairy-tale, fabricated, false, fantastical, forged, fabled, far fetched, fraudulent, flimflam, feigned, fanatical, and figmental fake definitions for BOWDLERIZE by email to widdis (at) dixonary (dot) net.

I’ll set a deadline in just under 33½ hours:  please submit your definitions by 10pm PDT at the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles on Friday, October 3, which is Saturday (October 4) at 2 am EDT at the US Naval Observatory in Washington DC, 05:00 UTC on the International Space Station, 6 am BST at the Greenwich Meridian and elsewhere in the UK, 7am CEST at la Méridienne de France and in most of Europe, and 6pm NZDT on Saturday at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station and in New Zealand.
