While the current pig is being hosed down, I thought I'd get out the soft soap and suds up another.

The word is gilse . I'll take definitions for a week and then post.

Uh, excuse me, Elizabeth Creith, but it is considered good form for the Hog mistress (or Hog mister) to give the players a small hint when begining a new game of Hogwash.

Would you mind using "gilse" in a complete sentence?

Here is a complete sentence using "gilse":

The contestants created many novel definitions for the word "gilse."

I could have sworn "The word is gilse" was a complete sentence.

For those of you who didn't get Marianne's hint note that there are exactly >>>52<<<characters in her sentence above.

Then assign a numerically value to each letter in the word "gilse" eg, a=1, b=2, c=3, etc. The letters total>>>52<<<.

Posted by themilum at exactly 6:52.

Two more days to take definitions, and then I'll be posting - so far I have eight submissions. Anybody else?
