sorry, all! I've been away, galavanting around the country... I'll pick F. I think I knew a Pete Moore in high school. though E uses a favorite word of mine.

Galavanting? That sounds interesting. I'll treat it like a hogwash word: hum.. Being a maestro performer in a series of great benefit concerts.

Galavanting. I grew up with that word, a favorite
of my grandmother's with whom I spent a great deal
of time.

perhaps you've not been able to find it because the normal spelling is gallivanting - joe (speeling 'R us) friday ' edit(1) - eta, if you had the 2nd sense of dictionary.com in mind, you got some 'splaining to do. edit(2) - bexter, see the Cambridge entry for yet another example of nefarious dictionary tactics

HA that is BRILLIANT! (and it doesn't even have a definition for the word it supplies instead!) oh and as all votes are now in...

Now I díd look it up and ha! It refers to
gallus domesticus behaviour.
Young Lobski said to his ugly wife,
"I'm off till to-morrow to fish, my life;"
Says Mrs. Lobski, "I'm sure you a'nt",
But you brute you are going to gallivant."
What Mrs. Lobski said was right,
Gay Mr. Lobski was out all night.
He ne'er went to fish, 'tis known very well
But where he went I shall not tell.
["Songs from the Exile," in "Literary Panorama," London, 1809]
Edit: Yes, you've got work to do bexter!

A. does not fancy any of them. Was inclined to go with E but what use is defining the first stone in a pile? Weeding out more, is not "young egg" another pleonasm? Wood stoves do not need seals and a well-known burglar would not be successful long enough to become an eponym. A peat moor channel is useful for - navigation? Are there any urban Mongolian tribefolk? Wincing and going with C.
