Only one of the following 21 definitions of RABATINE is in my
trusty Websters New International 2nd edition. To the others I
doff my cap in admiration.
Please cast your two votes for the correct definition by 2000
hours, aka 8:00 pm, Eastern Daylight Time, tomorrow, Thursday,
September 8, by reply to this message. That should be a few
minutes more than 35 hours from....NOW!
For any new players: if you happen to know the word already, you
are disqualified from voting. Do NOT look up the word before
casting your votes.
Enjoy!
