Bel's a girlie?
The selection process is never so easy with such a pack of clever charlatans, but there are certain tip-offs.
This time there was a certain Aussieness or Scotness to the term, possibly vaguely reminiscent of something like 'billabong'. Testing it with various accents helps.Unlike peristalsis, the process of definition elimination can be bolstered by chipping away at the flaws, as in sculpture.
For example: a) No grass is that sharp. b) Spelling- "eh what" should be "eh wot". c) Fatal lacrosse games fall in the low-credibility range. d) Malay polo did not catch on enough to promote specialized diction. e) Rule: Beware implements that resemble the business end of a 'plumber's helper'. f) Rule: Shun mention of unappealing anatomy. i) Navajo words usually sound like Navajo. j) Too creepy. k) Too elaborate. l) [see k)]. m) Too detailed. n) [See? With three hits this one was a winner]. o) Does not seem useful even in poetry. p) [See i)]. q) Too verbose for a dictionary. r) & s) Too funny.
