The two major armillian categories I see are -

Theatre/Music - A,C,F,I, & M

Timing/Interuptions - C,F,G,I,L, & P

I did have a 2nd thought for a definition to send to Bingley that would have fit both categories.

Hastilude ~ a term popularized at Grateful Dead concerts that refers to waiting until the LSD has kicked in before consuming your ludes




Probably would have yielded more votes than I currently have.

That's actually a bastardization of a deadhead term, hashtilude.

Once they kick in perhaps they're pronounced that way.

Right your "wrong", Faldage, why do you spell "aes" as "As" without an apostrophe?

o
: The gait of a ferret or other long-bodied mustelid.

The gait of ferrets might be important to ferret lovers per se, but even ferret lovers might not be overly concerned about "other long bodied mustelids.

Sorry TEd, "o" is a loser.

I'll take G ...oh, but wait...perhaps my choosing G is a short-lived delusion that a short-lived delusion is the correct definition. Okay, I'll take G , then.

Because it's a plural, not a possessive or a contraction. And it has nothing to do with copper, bronze or money, Roman or otherwise.
