Round 3603: Which is the real CHAPPAL?

[Hugo Kornelis]

Hello everyone, and greetings from beautiful Slovenia!

Below, you will find a nice collection of eleven totally fake definitions for CHAPPAL, doing their best to hide the real one that is among them. Will you find the right one?

Please post a reply to this message to the group, indicating the two (2) definitions that you fancy the most. Its originators will get points ... or you will, if you zoomed in on the right one!
Make sure to do this before the deadline, which will be a bit over 24 hours after posting this message: December 6, 17:00 CET. Click here for a countdown.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Hugo

Hi all,

Still a few hours to go. But a quick heads up: I'm at a conference, and I might not be able to post the results quickly after the deadline expires.
So if it takes a few hours ... don't despair!

Cheers,
Hugo
