Below, you'll find nineteen claimed definitions for SUGGILATE. Eighteen have been concocted by you and your fellow players. One is from an actual dictionary. Your challenge is to single out that one. You have two chances. Make your choices publicly, by direct reply to this announcement. Do so before the deadline below. If you're a brand-new player, just jumping into the game at this point: Yes, you can start to play right now. If you're not brand-new but didn't get around to submitting a def, no problem; you, too, may vote. BUT: If you suddenly realize that you recognize the real def, you must recuse yourself. DON'T do so publicly; send a personal message to my address. DEADLINE: Thursday, 20 June, 9 a.m. EDT. That's 8 a.m. CDT and 6 a.m. PDT. For those in England and the Netherlands, 2 and 3 p.m. respectively. And for our Victoria contingent, 11 p.m. Good luck! 1. juice. 2. to buzz; hum. 3. to tease or tickle. 4. to divine; to foretell. 5. to walk or move slowly. 6. to write or talk nonsense. 7. inability to swallow fluids. 8. (of fish) having mouth barbs. 9. to beat black and blue; also, to defame. 10. to vibrate at a continually changing rate. 11. any dry mixture that foams when moistened. 12. to misdirect, as by a magician or illusionist. 13. to clean a liquid by bubbling a gas up through it. 14. a French trademark for a fluid artificial sweetener. 15. to break into small chunks, as with stone into gravel. 16. [Geol.] of rock, tending to fracture along parallel planes. 17. to dispel mundane thoughts and distractions prior to prayer or meditation. 18. in a sitting posture; esp. of a quadruped sitting with the forelegs upright. 19. when asked for advice, to offer two or more alternatives but express no preference between them.

Hi Dodi,

My evil twin wanted me to pick the combination of #1 and #7, but I
declined. Instead, I'll pick the eights: #8 and #18.

8. (of fish) having mouth barbs.


18. in a sitting posture; esp. of a quadruped sitting with the forelegs
upright.

Cheers,
Hugo

I think I've unmunged it. If this comes through correctly, it may be easier to use.

Of course, the same gremlin may affect me also ...

I put in a carriage return before every number, which is probably exactly what you did. My software (Apple's Mail, version 4.6) apparently didn't get rid of them. :)

Unfortunately, reformatting didn't make the right definition any easier to find, and apparently also didn't make people more likely to pick mine. :(

That's interesting. Maybe the garbling of the defs posting wasn't my fault
after all (I'd done nothing different from my last deal). Several votes
this round (though not all) have arrived in duplicate. And I have just
received THREE copies of the above, all three sent at the same time; all
three were addressed to Dixonary with a cc to me AND a cc to Dixonary.

Google has switched me to the "New Google Groups" today, with no option to
return to the old format, which I preferred. It may be just coincidence,
but if they've changed the Group software it could account for the recent
strange behaviour.

Dodi -

How sad to see your compacted defs so many times . . .

I'll try -

15. to break into small chunks, as with stone into gravel.

and

18. in a sitting posture; esp. of a quadruped sitting with the forelegs
upright.

Thanks,

Chuck

indicated that it was sent to Dixonary with a cc: to me. Did you, in fact,
send it that way?

Yes I did - It was the first message I've sent using the new Groups
software and I wasn't sure whether I it was safe to uncheck the CC: box.
Clearly it was!

This one arrived in duplicate, too! Didn't this happen once before? Drove
us crazy then, too.

Back in the game again after my furlough, and feeling out of practice.

Too many verbs so I'll take a couple of adjectival definitions and since
I have two votes I'll select powers of two, specifically 8 and 16 -
someting fishy, something rocky.

Tim, I mostly participate via the Groups site and got used to the 'new'
format a year ago but still find some of its habits a bit strange. I'm sure
there is a logic to the preset cc boxes but it's not very apparent and I
don't always notice them which means people like Dodi then get multiple
copies.

My main gripe is that when I've written a reply to a message I sometimes
click the red box marked 'post reply' instead of the green one marked
'post'. The red one actually means 'start a new reply' while the green one
means 'post this reply'. Trouble is the green one sometimes scrolls off the
screen while the red one is always visible - not very well thought out.

The big question is what part of speech it is. I'll go with verbs. But which? Let's try 9 and 13.

Taking no chances, I'm doing this by hand.

Millie, right back atcha. Millie, who dealt the last round, will be dealing
the next one as well; her forelegs-waving quadruped (#18) was selected by
six of you. The no-doubt-grateful real winner is Keith, with four votes for
his rock-chopping (#15).

I almost had a D0. Efrem spoiled that just this morning, about half an hour
before the deadline (giving him an unnatural score of 4). See #9. Weird
word, no? The latest listing I could find was Merriam-Webster II (1934).

The details:

8. (of fish) having mouth barbs.

Voted for by Efrem Mallach

10. to vibrate at a continually changing rate.
Submitted by Dick Weltz, who voted for 3 & 12. Score: 2
Voted for by Glen Boswell and Tim Bourne

11. any dry mixture that foams when moistened.
Submitted by Guerri Stevens, who voted for 13 & 18. Score: 2
Voted for by Steve Graham and Keith Hale

12. to misdirect, as by a magician or illusionist.

Voted for by no one

18. in a sitting posture; esp. of a quadruped sitting with the forelegs
upright.
Submitted by Millie Morgan, who voted for 1 & 5. Score: 6
Voted for by Tony Abell, Chris Carson, Chuck Emery, Hugo Kornelis, Tim
Lodge, and Guerri Stevens

19. when asked for advice, to offer two or more alternatives but express no
preference between them.

I can't actually be angry, since after all it was you who provided the
unscrambled listing of defs (which I used for my report; I didn't retype
those). I'll refrain from public comment on any further implications of the
above.

You know, it really is an honour just to be nominated for real winnah.
Wait. What?
Thanks, four of you, and an even bigger thanks to all of the players that
did NOT vote for my crumbly rock opera, thereby putting me in the
DeeDeeZed. {Da Dealah Zone}
