View Full Version : [Dixonary] HUDIBRASTIC - RESULTS

The correct answer was 6, it even has a Wiki article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudibras a. “In the metre or after the manner
of Hudibras, the celebrated mock-heroic satirical poem of Samuel Butler
published in 1663–78; burlesque-heroic.”



1. Severely caustic or abrasive (also fig. of personality)* Guerri
Stevens / Chuck Emery - 0 votes*

2. adj. Speaks in an old-fashioned manner* Keith Hale – 1 vote; by
Mike Shefler*

3. Pompous, excessively self-important* Jim Hart - 7 votes by Guerri,
Chris, Dave, Millie, Tim B, Paul, Efrem*

4. Self-abasing Dick Weltz – 1 *vote by Millie*

5. Having a metrically complete pattern, especially having the full
number of syllables in the final foot. Used of verse.* Chris Carson – 3
votes Judy, Tim L, Matthew*

6. In the meter or manner of the mock heroic poem “Hudibras” *OED – 4
votes Chris, Paul, Dodi, Matthew.*

7. A genetic defect whereby the epidermis is without nerve endings
Steve Graham – 0 *votes*

8. Having arms or tentacles of different lengths, but in a radially
symmetric pattern.* Mike Shefler – 3 votes Dick, Steve, Dodi*

9. Forlorn in appearance, especially of a hobo or tramp clown* Dave
Cunningham – 1 vote; Tony S.*

10. Very doubtful; deceitful* Tony Abell – 3 votes Steve, Mike, Tony S*

11. Backward. [Obs.]* Daniel Widdis - 1 vote – Tim L*

12. Dry; lacking in moisture.* Judy Madnick 0 votes*

13. Of darkness, mist, heat, etc.: so extreme or intense as to seem almost
tangible* Millie Morgan - 1 votes - Dan*

14. A sealant commonly used in roofing.* Tim B 0 votes*

15. vituperative *Paul Keating - 1 vote Efrem*

16. [Med.]: unable to reach full extension; said of a muscle, tendon or
ligament.* Efrem Mallach - 4 votes; Jim, Dan, Judy, Tim*

17. Exaggeratedly pious; dogmatic.* Dodi Schultz - 4 votes; Guerri, Jim,
Dick, Dave*



Guerri’s and Chuck’s defintions were combined

Tim Lodge, Tony Savage, and Matthew Grieco did not submit definitions

Johnny Barr knew the answer. He also submitted a definition that I failed
to include, so I have awarded him the average mark for the definition = 2
(surely, I can do that?)



Which gives:

Definition Votes + Correct

Guerri 0

Chuck Emery 0

Keith Hale NV/1

Jim Hart 7

Dick Weltz 1

Chris Carlson 3 + 2 = 5

Steve Graham 0

Mike Shefler 3

Dave Cunningham 1

Tony Abel 3

Dan Widdis 1

Judy Madnick 0

Millie Morgan 1

Tim B 0

Paul Keating 1 + 2 = 3

Efrem 4

Dodi Schultz 4 + 2 = 6

Tim Lodge ND/0

Tony Savage ND +0

Matthew Grieco ND + 2

Johnny Barr DQ + 2


Despite 4 people being inspired to make the correct choice, Jim Hart wins
with 7 votes. My advice is “Don’t play cards with Jim Hart” :)

I am stuck thereafter as I don’t seem to have the running total/league
table.

I don't think i should be down as a no vote, i voted for 11 & 13 at 22:38
GMT.

Just want to be sure people get their points!

You seem to have closed the polls three hours early.

Not a personal complaint. I voted. And Jim's the new dealer, not I. But I
wonder if anyone might have missed the opportunity to cast a vote . . .

I've just been very busy and was planning on looking over the choices and
voting around 4pm EDT. Oh, well.
