Are two players allowed to choose the same? Then B. It's phony -- but, even in that, accurate.

I know the expression from my reading and realize I could've sent in a bogus daffynition but nothing suggested itself.  That said, I vote for C, and it's for me to know and y'all to find out whether I voted for the right answer or not.

as the last person to vote (so far : ) I'll go for a. since it looks like 'a' answer -- and no one has voted for a. (yet), and all the other answers have garnered at least one vote.

That brings to mind the time I waited until the eleventh hour to cast my vote. There was only one daffinition that had not been voted for. I voted for it and it happened to be the correct one! Stole tsumn's two points, just like that  Seems like no one has voted for one lonely daffinition in this round. Who wants it? Step right up, folks...
