Jim Hart
February 1st, 2013, 03:58 PM
Here are 19 plausible definitions of OONT for your consideration. If you
know what it really means keep it to yourself, otherwise vote for two of
them by public reply to this message in the next 30 hours, i.e. before
midnight Saturday on east-coast America, Sunday 0500 UTC, and 4pm in my
corner.

1. [Scots] Aunt.

2. in India, a camel.

3. an oddly shaped nose.

4. Regarding; concerning.

5. dislike; refusal; denial.

6. a crescent-shaped sand dune.

7. outhouse; toilet [Afrikaans]

8. broad sash worn with a kimono

9. [orig. Dutch] A young serving maid.

10. a hut; any small, single-room dwelling.

11. Yorkshire dialect for won't or will not.

12. a rock used as an anvil stone in flint knapping.

13. a spacer in printing type that is five letters wide.

14. the wooden footrest at the bottom of a Navajo cradle board

15. a circuit element having one output and a number of inputs

16. A mixture of powdered lime and wood chips placed in outdoor toilets
to reduce odor.

17. A mixture of powdered lime and wood chips placed in outdoor toilets
to reduce odor.

18. a small, nocturnal, mouse-like rodent that inhabits parts of the
Sudanese savanna region of Chad.

19. colloquially an edible birds egg; biologically the membrane
enclosing the female gamete [_oosphere_ or _ovum_ or _oospore_] in the
placental mammals the membrane is missing and the egg is a naked cell,
in reptiles the membrane is inside a leathery integument, in bird eggs
the membrane is inside a calcareous shell, in flowering plants the
membrane encloses the ovum directly and gives rise to the seed coat, in
algae, mosses, ferns and fungi the membrane is often inside a casing of
cellulose (chitin in fungi) which gives rise to the spore coat but some
are naked cells.

Is it just me, or do 16 and 17 look vaguely similar? (Not that I'm against reducing odor in outdoor toilets, mind you.)

Oops, yes 16 and 17 are in fact so similar they should have been combined.
And you can read into that what you will. Rather than post the list again
it's simpler if I just admit I doubled up and any vote for either will
count the same, just don't vote for both.

Sorry for the confusion.

I'll vote for No. 7 (the spiffy biffy) and 19 to reward such effort.

7. outhouse; toilet [Afrikaans]

19. colloquially an edible birds egg; biologically the membrane enclosing
the female gamete [_oosphere_ or _ovum_ or _oospore_] in the placental
mammals the membrane is missing and the egg is a naked cell, in reptiles the
membrane is inside a leathery integument, in bird eggs the membrane is
inside a calcareous shell, in flowering plants the membrane encloses the
ovum directly and gives rise to the seed coat, in algae, mosses, ferns and
fungi the membrane is often inside a casing of cellulose (chitin in fungi)
which gives rise to the spore coat but some are naked cells.

My votes go to 16 and 17
and also18 because I smell a rat :)

I'll take 7 and 11, with a bow to the author of #19 for creativity - and endurance of the typing fingers. (I really hope that's not the right one.)
