perhaps everyone has voted that intends to... but, conventionally, the poll will remain open 'til Wed. noon.

the voting period has expired -- here's your chance to comment afore I post the startling results.

p.s. - I think all of the definers have selected a definition for the definienda but for WO'N. I will permit him to slip in under the velvet rope if he can do so whilst I'm dithering.

Just a couple comments:

a) long-handled needs a hyphen

j) is too long


OK, I'm done now.

Atcherly there are handled and unhandled gaffs. This post is a handled one, for example, since there is a subject up above. without a subject, of course, it would be unhandled.

And perhaps the same applies to the more physical gaffs.

So it is your decision whether this is a long handled gaff or a short handled gaff. Pretty much a judgment call, I spect.

Filling in for themilum I'll point out that one of these Armils is the correct answer.
