Since I know the definition of 'gilse" and the answer is "M" I used my considerable Hogwash skills to select those definitions that were offered by the Awad men. Surprisingly I only found four male entries...N,G,J,D. And of course "M" (the correct definition) was coined by a scottish male but that doesn't count. Since most players of Hogwash are male it follows that some Awad men have very gentle and sensitive mannerisms when it comes to defining words in "Hogwash". Hurry, Elizabeth, I can't wait to see the results.

Heimdall guards the gate to Asgard and his tunic is trimmed with gilse. I choose C because it is the right answer, not M.

Well, I'm pleased that I didn't see that post then. Why would one do such a churlish and juvenile thing?

tsuwm! (pronounced suumm)
Did it ever cross your ever-busy mind that Alex Williams might be slyly promoting the definition "M" because he wrote it and needs the points?
Of which (speaking of malhogwash) when (if ever) are we going to get the results from Hogwash game #89 featuring "ucalegon"? I need the points.

Actually I wrote C and voted for it to try to seduce others to vote for it as well. That's right, seduce. Where've you been all my life, baby?

I like J; it's cool! And just odd enough that it might be the right one.
