But first
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch
Have you heard this one before.....
On a beautiful summer's day, two English tourists were driving through Wales.
At the town of, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogoch they stopped for lunch, and one of the tourists asked the very blonde waitress, “Before we order, I wonder if you could settle an argument for us… Can you pronounce where we are, very, very, very slowly?”
The girl leaned over and said, “Burrr.... Gurrr.... King.”
Well that's just a little joke, but it shows the importance of understanding the question before we can formulate an answer. But with this game, you are being asked to give meaning to a word, you may have never heard before. What could be easier?
Now you have entered, relax and read through these daffynitions. Hidden somewhere is the real meaning, but pay it no mind.....chose the one you like best and PM it to me. Points will be awarded and counted to find the winner. The winner is the one with the most points, not necessary the one who guesses correctly, in fact, I believe I get more points if you don't guess the real answer.
Enjoy.

K for me.
formerly known as etaoin...
J for me!
I hope no one follows through on this directive, as the regulars know that guesses(!) are meant to be posted in the clear, so as to make manifest the futility of trying to ferret out the True Meaning.
I have to reject C, appealing though it may be. I'm afraid the source of the appeal is the similarity to the jolly fella who once sat beside the billabong, under the shade of a coulibah tree...
Oh, Gee, I just know there's something fishy about this one!
F is impressive; I'm votin' for that one.

'Sorry I forgot to make a daff.
Thanks for your good work Candy.

As I'm a poor chance winner I'm curious who will be the lucky one.
I like the cleverness of the Polish Connection, even
the Wagi section of Poland.
So F it is.
----please, draw me a sheep----
I do hope they don't offer one from the Wagi section.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
OP

x5 without any votes......could one of them be the real daffynition!!!!
One more vote to come in......shall we wait?
OP

OP
That should give Amykins time to vote or anyone else who turns up.
