Given that E2 posted at 8:49:46, and Joe had readied his tallystick prior to posting the result at 9:23:26, I suspect this was an entry too late to count. But hey, don't let that stop you whinging and whining, E1 - I mean, just cause it's taking musick's moment of glory an' all!! :]

Well done musick and faldage for guessing, I mean deducing the correct answer. It is such an unlikely word to be real at all. I mean honestly, Arghness?!?!?

here's some philosophy to go with definition a) of arghness [see above] {cross-threading to life, the universe, and everything}:

To learn that we have said or done a stupid thing is nothing, we must learn a more ample and important lesson: that we are but blockheads. - Montaigne

wasn't it Lucy that called him blockhead, Linus was a nice kid.

The first time anybody in the Peanuts cartoon strip called Charlie Brown a blockhead was on 9 June 1958. Charlie was pitching for the local nine and Lucy was the manager. Linus, the catcher, sez "The championship is ours!" Patty sez "You can do it, Charlie Brown. We're all behind you." Lucy sez "That's right. We're with you, Charlie Brown. Pitch it to 'im, boy. Strike him out ..." And then she covers her mouth with her glove and whispers in his ear "...you blockhead!"
