I demand, sirrah, your immediate withdrawal of the offending comment or I shall meet you, with seconds, out behind the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices!Das'right! And I emphatically, and gratefully, volunteer to stand-up as your second, O noble Faldage, for having my vote dissected and then tossed into the trash along with the heap of wrapping paper trimmings, just because I voted for my own definition! Harrumph!® (I'm so mad I'm actually adding the tradmark to that!) Da noive of it all! HogSanta seems to be switching his gift with coal! Shame, shame, shame. Oh, well...since it 'tis the season (double "its" intentional!), I will show my best elf-like demeanor and withdraw my vote for myself, thereby releasing a whole one-third vote back to each of the other 'dillo dillies!  Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas!

Hey! Wait Whitman! Don't despair!
I googled my google off but I think I found them...
_ >---> >> The Lost Rules of Hogwash << <---<__
Hidden away in the Quatrains of Nostradamus, Canto 13, Quatrain 666, was this...(translated freely from the french)
O'Saki, when the false swan fails to score against your name,
It matters not whether you win or lose, O Saki
The WereWitch Consuelmo will mark your play of game.
What does this mean?
Who is the false swan?
Who is the werewench consuelmo?
What happened to the missing line of the quatrain?
Who won this round of Hogwash? Me?
Who is wished a Merry Christmas? The Hogwashers?
Yes.

Oh, pretty please Mr. Hogmaster, all has not been made obvious! Half the fun of this game, or at least one third, is in finding out who invented which definition! Who wrote all the armadillos? The leather transformer bag? European women not shaving under their arms? and all the rest?

It's obvious, Mr. Minderbinder, that the false swan is either me or etaoin.
And thank you for coming so nobly to my defense.
Or were you offering to be tsuwm's second?
And, Juan, I accept your offer.

Since I'm not gonna bother looking up the actual® definition, I'll presume it to be something like "ornamental wrist bands made out of baby, dwarf armadillos".

I left those off to protect the ingenuous. gosh, I was so sorely tempted to add another armadillo definition, making a hogshead of armadillos.

Or were you offering to be tsuwm's second?Yes Mr. Faldage, I will be tsuwm's second, third, forth, or fifth if he will have me. And as his man-in-waiting I will caution him to be wary of your tricks. Choose your weapons. Merriam-Webster or American Heritage? It matters not a rats damn to us. We wait with the confidence of the just.

...a hogshead of armadillos
Is that bigger or smaller than a cask of armadillos, written about by that famous bear Edgar Allen Pooh? (multiple cross-threads)
