c)the name of an old magazine, since replaced by New Sweek. (ALso TEd, voted for by - ta-da - nobody..)
d)Chastity. cf swaik (Max, voted for by Alex, TEd)
e)sweek: us gang slang, to get lunch money from others by intimidation. Ex: song by rapper Q-bop-a-gurula - sweek the geek and drop the dime, toby bitch. (themilum, voted for by musick, bingley)

From CONSUE'S OFFICIAL RULES OF STANDARD HOGWASH1. [points are] given to each player for every vote (or guess) his phony definition receives. 2. points are awarded to each player who chooses the true meaning. The "tsuwm precedent" established that TWO points are awarded to those who guess the correct definition, and only ONE point is awarded for fooling each gullible voter. Do the math teD - four votes Milo - five votes I hereby declare myself the winner!

Sometimes you get caught and sometimes you don't. You don't blame a girl for trying, do you? Isn't lying integral to the honored game of Hogwash.
I must say that it is an honor to stand beside a hogwasher of your particular bent. A toast to me and a tip of the hat to you, congratulations to the both of us.

Sure thing, wofahulicodoc, that's easy for you and chorused Nature to say, you two have won many awards and contests thoughout your lives. I've won one - a case of HiC Orange Aid on the Happy Hal Burns radio show because I was dressed as the best cowboy. I was six.
This is my moment. My chance to be an American Hogwash Idol.
Please don't muck up this moment with particulars.

Of course not, joe, who would cheat to fix a Hogwash game that led to me being declared the winner? Not me, I don't cheat, and although I can't speak for TEd who came in second, he doesn't either&! <<retorical indignant symbol

The "tsuwm precedent" was abandoned lo these many [AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED, IS NOT PART OF THE POSTED OFFICIALESE] -- that's why the rulz was amended to [points are] instead of stating specifically the numbers. (edited for emPHAsis)
