What a wonderful Christmas gift HogmasterŪ! By suspending the old rule that similar definitions are automatically discarded, your Yuletide heart is offering us the hallowed opportunity to chart four definitions with just one vote!  Oh, the joys of the season! So this is your special "wherein all becomes obvious" gifting to us! [reaching-for-a tissue-e...sniff, sniff] Touching, simply touching...I'm humbled by your graciousness. Therefore, I must gratefully pay homage to your holiday gesture by voting for all the armadillos, B-F-O and T, as one vote! Thanks, HogSanta!

Peccadillos (n.b. besides the animal safari, I also noticed two Celtic references) aside, there are several very good daffy-nitions here. I rarely side with Faldage in such porcine matters, but today I must:
M, for moi.

You could have knocked over with a feather when I saw the Hoglist and discovered that there were actually two correct definitions for the word ARMIL. I had forgotten that armil means P as well as the one I was gonna submit. I was still refining my definition of ARMIL when tsuwm called "Time!" and was therefore excluded from the list. I offer my definition now merely to entertain my fellow Hogwashers while tsuwm drags this Hogwash on and on until one of his whims moves him to confirm the correct definition. I hereby vote for P while the proof of the truth of my disqualified definition is self-evident. (see below) ARMIL a mnemonic. (as below) A position 1 from the front 26 from the back
R 19 8
M 14 13
I 9 18
L 11 15 total [54]subtracted from [80] equals [26] armil is a good simple mnemonic to remember the number of letters in the english alphabet (26). The letters A,R,M,I,L, are the only grouping of five letters known to exhibit this quality.

My vote goes to d as a reward for lateral thinking.

I have caught you out, Mr milum!!Is this an example of your mathematical deficiency? or are you guilty of mathematical casuistry?(or are you just a no-count guy? ) The equation, properly set forth, reads as follows (corrections emphasised)A 1 26 R 18 9M 13 14I 9 18 L 12 15 __ __ 53 8282-53= 29This is no help, not even for the Cyrillic alphabet.

. milum used new math. ~ ww Thanks Wordwind, but tsuwm was rushing me so I decided to set a number trap for numerical nitpickers. Before one goes to Ireland one want to know exactly whom has kissed the Blarney Stone and who all will be exchanging nits with Faldage.
