[Daniel Widdis]

How can something be "mostly obsolete"? It's either in recent use or not.
Despite that, 13 gets my vote. As does 1, because it's long.

6 and 15, please.

These are great!

[Tim Lodge]

I can't resist the ventriloquist, but I think it's more likely to be
the spy:

plausible.

[Millie Morgan]

I'm voting for 19 because it sounds so absolutely right; and 12 because it's
extinct.

> 12. an extinct South American cat related to the jaguar
> 19. a short cape


Best wishes,
Millie

[Dodi Schultz]

I'll try

12. an extinct South American cat related to the jaguar

and

20. a life vest

—Dodi

Jim Hart says "have to give a vote to 6 for imagination and audacity, and one to 18 solely because I like the word ocelot."



I like the word "ass" a lot, too....

[Tony Abell]

I'll take a medium one and short one, both wild guesses. 11 and 20:

> 11. the mistress or sweetheart of Harlequin in pantomimes

> 20. a life vest

[Frances Wetzstein]

Probably too obvious but I'll vote for


4. a tribunal established during the French Revolution and charged with
determining the fate of royalty; a member of said tribunal and

5. the local cadre of French officials charged with dealing with the papacy
after it moved to Avignon, France in 1309

unless I've already voted!! Sorry about that but cannot find sent items
easily anymore. Must check this out.
