[Dixonary] Round 3170 OOSIK results

[Efrem G Mallach]

Folks,

The four-hour deadline extension didn't pull in any more votes, so here goes. 

An oosik is definition 7: "[Inuit] the baculum of a walrus, seal, sea lion or polar bear." If you're not familiar with bacula, they are penis bones. Many mammals have them, though humans don't. Here's one from a walrus:

. 

Tim Lodge, who has been on a roll lately and most recently dealt Round 3168, wins the next deal, as his "egg-shaped" got four votes. Paul Keating also had four points, but two came from casting a vote for the baculum, so he loses the tie-breaker and can enjoy the traditional "winnah" position. His was the only vote for #7, earning me a D1. Full results:
