a.) A punctuation fubar. For example: A woman without her man is lost. A woman; without her, man is lost. R. Eastcourt (Elizabeth Creith)
b.) n. Biol. (cellular) material similar to chromatin, most often found in mitochondria. Aramis
c.) NOUN: Logic A syllogism in which one of the premises or the conclusion is not stated explicitly. The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000. (Alex W., Father Steve, shanks )
d.) a cultural fashion which has gone extinct tsuwm (Aramis, tsuwm )
e.) a mood-altering phrase wofahulicodoc
f.) Christian theology the cultural basis for Christian love. themilum (BranShea )
g.) A request to be infused with herbs. olly (R. Eastcourt, themilum)
h.) (noun): Any idea or narrative present in a person's mind prior to birth. Synonym of archetype. shanks (etaoin, arkaydy )
i.) defective wing casing, particularly in chirping insects such as crickets Elizabeth Creith
j.) one of a collection of poetic devices intended to evoke a visceral reaction from the reader. AnnaStrophic (Faldage)
k.) what the bound and gagged prisoner says to his/her rescuer consuelo (olly)
l.) The stem of an individual floret in the center of a yellow composite. Faldage (wofa)
m.) a state of collective temporary amnesia. BranShea (consuelo)
Well three people picked the correct one I C; tsu, sorry, just one clear vote from you, not three. So Faldage might ought to have voted his gut; he prolly cahooted with Anna S, but
Dear olly at least gave his view all up front; while Milo and Eastcourt dropped back for a punt. Elizabeth C had the Canada vote; and welcome arkaydy to our little boat.
consuelo--her mem'ry was taken adverse; and eta got my vote for being most terse. Then Ara got fancy, doc said what the L, while BranShea's good faith--it sure did get dispelled.
So kudos to Alex, the vicar, and shanks; too bad that for this you can't run to your banks. A thought for you all as I fade out of sight, "Happy Hogwash to all and to all a good night".
P.S.--I loved the 1913 Webster's citation (see Onelook): (n.) An argument consisting of only two propositions, an antecedent and consequent deduced from it; a syllogism with one premise omitted; as, We are dependent; therefore we should be humble. Here the major proposition is suppressed. The complete syllogism would be, Dependent creatures should be humble; we are dependent creatures; therefore we should be humble.
