Geoff and wwh flirted with the true meaning, although their respective definitions weren't really near each other -- in the interest of the game I'm deleting their entries and awarding each 1.5 points. there's a lesson here somewhere.... (unfortunately, there is only one court of appeals: that would be me) 3. maverick flirted with out-and-out disqualification by submitting three(3) definitions. instead of that, I picked one, but just see if he gets any points. 4. as a result of all of the above, we have ten (10) contesting definitions. voting may commence and the polls will remain open for forty-eight(48) hours, or until the supreme court (me again) rules elsewise. remember, anyone can vote -- more points for the players!

This week is confused enough already! Never mind, I will just have to reuse the definition somehow in another round. BBC TV has had (and still has) the game "Call My Bluff" for longer than I can remember which has 3 definitions and the opposing team has to choose the correct one.

Locked together – hm, sounds plausibly dodgy, so I’ll reject it. Collagen – maybe not. Theatrical term yet I don’t know it: Col + Lux – no, wouldn’t mutate to ~uct, so definitely not the popular choice. Clerical unction – eurgh, I really hope it’s not! Wrestling – can’t think of many terms from this sport – hmm. Sea creatures – too cute, maybe. Mourning together: could be (another Latin col~ word). Jung – hah, good try! (was that you, Sparteye?) Square dance: fancy name, wouldn’t it be? So I go with (i), out of desperation. Got a feeling this is a red herring though!
