Upon reading the definitions, my memory was jogged into recognizing the correct one. I therefore disqualify myself from voting.
This was an excellent set of definitions.
Excellent job TEd. Thanks.




All of the above.

Uh, Owlbow, you curtsy to a fault.

If you KNOW the definition AFTER reading the definition
then it is most condescending to other piggers not to
choose what you know.

By not voting what you know you lessen the gloat of those who have also fairly and squarely guessed correctly.

Oh well, now I guess it is too late to post what you know because everyone would know that you know and choose your choice.

On the other hand you could lie!

I am not a fault, even though I am being curtsied to. I think I am or am not anyway.

And so far no one has guessed correctly. Any vote(s) for the correct definition stem(s) not from guessing but from actual knowledge of the word. Or not. Wait. Let me think. Oh, I might have forgotten to post the correct definition. Or not. Maybe I left it out on purpose.

Sheesh. It's a game, guy!

Why're you being so serious about it?

My father's last words were:

Never point a gun at anyone, unless you plan to kill them; and

Never cheat, unless you're sure you can get away with it -- or she's so goddamn sweet you'll hemorage if you don't.

Really now Ted, you think I think Hogwash serious?

Think about it. Owlbow bailed out unnecessarily because he didn't understand the indulgent manner of Hogwash.

What? You don't want goodbuddy Owlbow to vote?

That's exactly what my father said. Did your father know my father? Or were they both just working off the same script?

Considering his views on cheating they might very well be the same man.
