The correct definition was C: Talk indistinctly; usually in a low voice. Hyla, jimthedog, and squid were right. There's an animal theme happening there. I wonder if their animal instincts enabled them to sniff out the fake definitions? jimthedog gets 2 points, and as non-contributors Hyla and squid get 1 each. paulb and maverick get 3 points each for submitting guesses that were pretty darn close to the exact definition.
Here are the authors of the bluffs and the number of votes each received:
