So, Owlbow, AnnaStrophic, and Aramis get
two points each for garnering two votes each. Submitters with one vote get one point.
Consuelo gets two bonus points: her submission read: v. to grasp around the throat (slang).
I shall award myself 3 points for a shutout.
=======================================

I think the evenness of the vote spread shows what good selections there were. Confess I was surprised at the overlapping: four were for food (two of which were quite similar), three were for sounds, and two were for slapping. Good round, you-all!

EDIT: if anybody can tell me why this is w-i-d-e, I'll try to fix it. Edit again: got it.
