you have submitted a definition, and whether or not you have played
before. You're not allowed to vote if you know the right answer.

Hi Paul,

It's so long ago since I got a def in that I almost forgot to vote!
(oops...)

But fortunately, I remembered in time. I vote for the foul monkey:

5. smallest of the Sifaka subspecies of lemurs _Suty
sifaka_


18. _obs._ foul (_lit._ and _fig._) [Cf OE _besútod_
defiled, foul]


Cheers,
Hugo
