Well done all and thanks for participating...I will put up another word tomorrow I think...

Good round, Bexter. Look forward to your next endeavor.
----please, draw me a sheep----
there are a couple of old lexicographer's precepts that go like this: a) be brief, b) keep it simple. these predate online dictionaries, which seemingly have less stringent space requirements, but.
anyway, applying these, and also considering a comment in the voting thread regarding Too Much Information, I arrived, as I mentioned in the event, at the choice of C or H. in fact, I was just about to pull the trigger on H when it struck me that not even the OED uses an obvious Brit. spelling such as "specialised" within their definitions! (sorry, Jackie - too clever by half. : )

OP Oh sorry! It was from my large Oxford English Dictionary...not very obscure but no-one knew what it was!

Here's the War and Peace version of the kibitka + snow
Never knew the thing existed. So a new word for a new object.
Thank you.
I knew they existed but not what they were called.
I liked your one Bran, but it was too close to mine, so I thought it an untruth![]()
I was persuaded by your background knowledge elifitgood first go.
Yeh..
I wonder, but I suppose I will never get the true unthruth about the vocal and physical nature of a nonexisting cardgame.Quote:due to the vocal and sometimes physical nature of the play [tsuwm] BranShea
I cheated played a lot of card games but never for money, so guess I can't help (never took it seriously enough).
>I wonder, but I suppose I will never get the true unthruth about the vocal and physical nature of a nonexisting cardgame.
I have a mental picture of kibitzers (not to be confused with kibbutzes, which I seem to do) gone out of control.
