3609 🗳️ GAMEGALL

[Paul Keating]

The players have laid before you a lavish if somewhat gamey buffet of verbal confections. However enticing you may find them, do not load your plate: you may choose only two, which you should do by Sunday 28 December at 21h15 CET (countdown timer here: ⏱️), or 48 hours from time of posting. Early closing will apply as usual.

1	A bitter or caustic remark, especially one delivered casually but remembered long after.
2	A bump on the head.
3	A competition among traditional Indonesian musical ensembles.
4	A female video game enthusiast.
5	Any injury, such as a bruise, incurred in the game of rugby, which causes a raised lump to appear.
6	A jesting exchange or retort.
7	One of several kinds of tree gall used as food sources by over-wintering game birds.
8	Petulant conduct following a loss.
9	A powdered plant gall traditionally used to soften leather for binding and fastening purposes.
10	A satchel for carrying game birds home from the hunt.
11	A short-lived cluster of cells that appears during the early development of some amphibian larvae.
12	A soft pad-saddle with a footrest, for a woman or child to ride on behind a man.
13	A type of wicker weir set in a stream as a trap for fish.
14	Wild male turkeys fighting to establish dominance for breeding rights.

4 because I gifted my wife a Ms. Pac Man machine for Christmas, and 10 because I put stuffed birds in her stocking.

Happy Boxing Day, everyone!

This week's wrong guesses are 8 and 12.

8

Petulant conduct following a loss.

12

A soft pad-saddle with a footrest, for a woman or child to ride on behind a man.
