I'm here to proclaim **musick** as the winner of this round, as he not only correctly voted but also collected the most "playing" votes. here's the evidence:
a) a feeling of emptyheadedness often experienced after saying something idiotic [tsuwm]
b) a recently coined corruption of Loch Ness, intended to be humorous, referring to the amount of folklore and mythology surrounding various tourist sites; examples of high "arghness factor" would be Loch Ness and the Blarney stone. [Zed] WO’N
c) wittiness (obs.) [Sparteye]
d) the monstrous pain of being Scottish [sjmaxq] ASp
e) a musical term for measuring the quality of a bagpipe's pitch. [WO’N]
f) a cape or head that rises in a shallow slope from relatively low land, terminating in a precipitous drop to the sea with no or only a very narrow beach region. [Faldage] ChurlPat, VernonC
g) obs. the darkest day of winter (related to Old Icelandic aarkneiss) [maverick] Jackie
h) the measurable moisture content of the organic base in a forest bed. [musick] maverick, Zed, Sparteye
i) early electrical hot water system (named after its inventor). [Bingley]
j) a land filled with satisfying targets, none of which can be harmed or will hurt you back no matter what you do to them. [Jackie]
k) dominatrix [VernonC]
l) an intensifer popular among teenagers for the groan commonly spelled argh, as in: "Ohmygod that is such total arghness!" [ASp] etaoin, maxq, Bingley
m) obs. cowardice, pusillanimity, timidity [OED] musick, Faldage
the only other comment I have is that this is another word which shows up in the Catholicon Anglicum (mentioned elsewhere, in today's wwftd is.. unthirlable). I could become enamored of this venerable incunabulum as a resource, here and there...
Arghnes, pusillanimitas
as always, thanks to all

it says here according to the hogwash-handbook [©2001] that you collected 2.5 votes. [edit: in this case, etaoin's vote was not a "playing" vote.]

he not only correctly voted but also collected the most "playing" votes.
...and it's a first time for either *honor.
****************
I figure nobody votes for my daffynitions 'cuz of my sincere lack of respect for grammar and yous can smell me a mile away, but. I have a question as I look at my offering. Would "the measurable moisture content of the organic base in a forest bed." be clearer/different/more accurate if stated "the measurable moisture content in the organic base of a forest bed." ?
I thought about this before I submitted it but chose "moisture content of" based on the sound of its *aura.

well, as I've tried to promulgate since day one, you're more of an actual person in this game if'n you submit an entry. :)
