It's not really obscure, I saw it in some dictionaries. I just would like to know who knows without the use of dictionaries the meaning of the word. Guesses are allowed, dictionaries not. Bless the return of the dropdown menu. I can be bold again.

And can't even guess at its meaning.

Just see who comes closest to or knows the word. I thought in stead of well defined-nitions it could run till one guesses or appears to know the meaning. Which gives a winner without all the editing counting etc. to do. A game of guess.

Bran...I'm upset you didn't run it as hog word (but I'm glad you got your boldness back).

The shrewd answer of a old routineer. Now for the chog... Candy, any one willing to do the work could take over. I can deliver a false definiton, but for the whole work I suffer from typotoxicosis.
