here then are the definiens, choose one:
a. public, boisterous intoxication
b. emotionally labile, crying easily (Used mainly in rural Ireland; the origin is uncertain but probably related to widows)
c. one who deserves hanging, a gallows-bird; a scamp, rascal
d. [obs.] describing a horse with thick, silky hair below the knee; such as the Clydesdale
e. to turn in a counter-clockwise direction while also moving in a vertical direction, either up or down
f. extremely agitated
g. [obs.] witty
h. compassionate, empathetic (from OE widdy - aware of, knowing)
i. (alt. of) wonderful; fanciful
j. bringing bad luck (joc. combination of widdershins and suffix -ful)
k. archaic expression of remorse
l. a blackbird of the genus Vidua found in various parts of Africa; so called from the prevailingly black plumage of the males, which are also distinguished by an immensely elongated train of tail-feathers
m. contrary, willful (from OHG widar against)
n. someone with ‘two left feet’, liable always to perform in a clumsy and inappropriate or even deliberately perverse fashion; an act so performed
o. (ME) upside down, overturned, upset – by 1608 used figuratively rather than literally (now archaic, rare poetic use only)
p. aglow, lit from within

{as always, I have made slight alterations in format or punctuation in an attempt to attain consistency; I hope I haven't changed anyone's def'n for the worse}
and to iterate the scoring rulz: one point for each vote, but voters who are also players count double.

So many good ones to choose from!
P is delightful.
D is pawing at me.
H is hugging me.
I think I'll vote for F though.
