Oh, we don't know the results yet, Olly. We just know now who submitted the fake definitions. His Hogmastery will post the correct answer, and link the perps to their daffynitions, at a later date of his choosing.

...and of course we all left out the obvious red herring:
a PUGGLE is a male who doesn't do magic

When did this one sneak in? This term sounds undignified enough to fit the I definition but what in the ____ [swearing self-serve] is 'c.f.'? Weeding out the obvious fakes leaves J.

C.f. is an abbreviation, intended to mean "compare." Cf. "cf."
