Gimme a B!

Seems to me that a), e) and g) are all pretty much the same. Obviously the other definitions are a lot of nonsense. I guess I'll be a good sheep and follow the flock so, for no other reason than that I'm easily led, I'll pick the middle one of those and go for e).

B definitely. If it's not correct, it should be. We need such a term for such displays.

yah, but cosplay wouldn't be it.

gimme f, Hazel-rah.

I like D

B please!

Well, Bingley, I'll have you know you are responsible for me missing out for the first time ever on Hoggywashery! Mebbe I looked at it fast and didn't realize what it was, or sumptin'??? I dunno...anyway... I, the definitionless, have no choice but to vote for the horny birds...D.

I missed it, too, but, since I was under extenuating circumstances and like to dance, I'll go for A. Thanks for taking this one over, Bingley.

cosplay wouldn't be it

Parm my beg to differmints, but that's exactly the sort of word a bunch of software-marketing people would come up with for that sort of thang.

A and B look mighty good, but I'll vote for E
