Our inventive players have concocted all but one of the 21
definitions for SAOUARI presented below for your edification and
entertainment. The remaining definition is, believe it or not, real.
Please vote for the two you think the best, for some value (or
values) of "good" that seems appropriate to you (such as plausible,
politically correct, embarrassing, witty, implausible, long, or as
chosen by a random number generator). You can do this whether or not
you have not submitted a definition, and whether or not you have
played before. You're not allowed to vote if you know the right
answer.
