Liripoop (or liripipe, as maverick remembered) according to Chambers, is a long appendage, attached to the end of a hood. I came across the word in its liripipe form, in the UK Saturday Times jumbo crossword about two weeks ago. Having constructed the word from the clue, I had to look up its meaning. Since a lot of you knew the word, I have visions of you all at your desks idly toying with your liripoops . Congratulations for your ingenuity in the definitions and your restraint, I had expected some guano definitions. My gratitude to mariana for choosing my own false definition, I have doubled your points for this round . My public apologies to Bobyounbalt for inadvertently leaving his entry out of the list, he gets my point from mariana! (* in table) I decided to throw technology at the scoring so here is the spreadsheet. Current Protests: 1) The Americans have been disqualified for passing the baton too early 2) The SouthernHemisphereans have been disqualified for celebrating their victory too early Any other protests to me with bribes as usual. Hogwash #12 will appear shortly.

I found various definitions once I started trawling around, but all with the common theme of appendages to hoods, and several with the silly person meaning. But that seems to cover all bases!
