I am going with E. I thought at first that it was O, but that was just too facile. I was thinking I had been had. NO. DAMMIT! I change my vote. I am going with O. If I got suckered I got suckered by an expert!

TEd, I think you should have included the phrase, "E & O E", just to cover all eventualities!

What an incredible and eclectic array of bluffs this time!...it may be the best board ever! First, I think the gorilla def (if it proves a bluff) deserves a point just for effort!  I like C because it sounds like a Latin coinage and could well be a throwback to the early days of bookmaking, but in a way that's too easy. And since the cheese definition seems too precise to be concocted (and my rebellious streak always loves to buck a trend) I'll choose L...and take a little fasgrolia with my Swiss, Muenster, and Jarlsberg.

My first impulse was A, so I'm going to go with C.

while there were fourteen(14) very good def'ns this time, there were only eleven(11) votes. the def'ns must have been *too good. therefore, and to wit, I am going to execute the powers not so far vested in me and award bonus points for this round: most convoluted def'n - milum (1 point) best connection to reality - Bingley (1 point) http://www.vtour.ch/fasnacht/fasnacht.htmlbest use of word in a citation - jmh (1 point) best assist by hogmaster™ - tsuwm (.17 point) [allowing for teD's misspell, frasgolia] least likely def'n lifted intact from another word - tsuwm (.17 point) [from gyrus fasciolaris, fasciola] most timely bluff (own vote) - Sparteye (-.42 point) score updates to follow...
