Mav sez: "my divisions could easily be occamed on other boundaries ..."
"Occamed." Wonderful. Now part of my vocabulary. No credit to be given; pure theft.

It's a privilege to have my pockets picked by a judge, father! Consider it a little christmas gift as a token of my esteem.

I'm not changing my answer, but I do think maverick makes a lot of sense, and wouldn't be too surprised if he's correct... you're a true maverick, maverick. Btw, you knew "maverick" in Hebrew means "brilliant" (when pronouced mav-rick)?  hmm. Can't wait to get the results on this one.

No Logwood, Maverick may be medium brilliant but he isn't Jewish. Maverick NOUN: 1. An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it. But Awad's Maverick, obviously, is not a motherless calf. He is but a man who refuses to admit that he has been branded.

what an odd lot of imaginative (but oddly similar) choices; however, I have a new criterium to apply here, which I am calling opaque's dull blade: to wit, choose the definition that stands apart as the most tedious, dull and boring and that must be the actual meaning. using this process, I arrive at m as the result. of course, by the same logic, I would never pick m as the *best answer.

> pronouced mav-rick heh, thanks for that, of which I no inkling til then! Milo's right of course, I am named after a cunning thief (oh, sorry, archetypal American entrepeneur!) of the prairie who deemed any unmarked calves as his as soon as he applied the maverick brand. In my work I am also much involved with brands of a different kind. Where Milo may err slightly is that since my mother's name is Miriam and thinks that some of her family *may have included some lost members of the wandering tribe, there may indeed be a portion of my mongrel blood so derived. All speculation that I do not allow to inform my daily life, but there anyway. The maverick brand suits my spelling style anyway...

I'll cast my vote for A although I think M might be it.

Okay folks, all but one of our submitters have now voted. Once that person has voted I will go ahead and post results (for those of you that have resisted googling the word already on your own).
I enjoy hosting Hogwash but if anyone else would like to host it then please jump on in. If a new game doesn't start in a day or so then I'll post another word myself.

Who is the delinquent submitter, Alex? Is it Iselpeter? Bingly? Who do they think they are... Jackie? A dime holding up a dollar. Such arrogance should be expunged from a legitmate game of Hogwash(c). Count to ten then throw the bum out. We, the eighteen responsible members who have duly voted, need closure. We have further fish to fry and need to get back to our families and fishing. Delete the reticent oaf and give us our scores. Now!
