The correct definition is A
(Mind you. I probably should have chosen C)

Gee Golly Wow, all the definitions seem plausible (except one). But if you say J real fast three times it sounds logical. My guess is J J J

C looks good, D looks good, K looks good, M looks good.
One thing puzzles me: the word was posted with the hint4 that it was encountered on a TV program. What kind of TV program could have included this word, if [number] is the correct definition?
I like M for most convincing, but I have to vote for D as most likely right.

Fill in any number(sic) and Jeopardy might fit the bill.

I vote for C
I may vote for something different tomorrow after having calmed down from a birthday party's worth of wine drinking (hubby's birthday, not mine) but today, C it is.

I was actually referring to the "double comparative"
like " more better", don't worry about it. Sweeter
is itself the comparative of sweet, doesn't need the
"more". Just the teacher in me, always correcting
grammar, even when it does not need correcting. Thanks
for not taking offense.

error analysis

Actually I would postulate it was an editing-incompletely error more than a typo. That it started out something like "...it's more fun knowing which one it is..." and got edited from " more fun" to "sweeter" except that "more" didn't get erased. And then sweeter had the lapsus digitae and came out sweater.
(There, now doesn't that sound authoritative? And I wasn't even the author!)
But we know what you meant, anyway. In this case, at least, I'm a descriptivist.

Candy must still be waiting on someone.. but it's been two(2) weeks since this was posted - typically after one week, a warning is given that time has expired and then soon thereafter.. too bad!
courtesy should be shown to those who have guessed as well as to those who just haven't gotten around tuit. (or you could LIU, like I did..)

I think Candy is in jail. And wrongo Faldage, the Hogwash word is a word. I found it in a book. It is spelled differently and pronounced differently and the meaning is not quite the same but it is still the Hogwash word. Wanna bet?

Give the gal a break, guys! She is poorly sick at present. Not sure what, exactly: last I heard, (a week ago) she had a cold, but that is often the start of something else.

Get well soon, Candy. You are the sweet key note of an otherwise discordant band of Hogwashers. And as for you, Faldage. I knew you were being snarky [whatever "snarky" means] and I will look up "gullible" right after I check my Funk and Wagnalls for "cromulent" to see if there's any such word.

weren't there initially two Ks? OK would then, obviously, be the Original K...
-ron o. There should be no ambiguity as the correction was made long before Owlbow voted.

Tsuwm - maybe you should change your name to Cassandra. (Although, admittedly, you are commenting on the past, rather than the future. But the syndrome os the same.)
