Round 2480 vote for sabrage

[mshefler]

Here are 17 definitions for sabrage, one of which came from a dictionary.
Vote for your 2 favorites no later than 1 PM EST, February 6. I think that's
about 34 hours from now. My internet connection is abysmally slow, reminding
me of the days of 300 baud modems, so please bear with me if there are delays
posting the results.

1. the formal salute to the opponent and to the judges prior to the
start of a fencing match.

2. the opening of a bottle, normally of champagne, by slicing off the
bottle's neck with a sabre.

3. [obs.] the process of disgorging the lees from a champagne bottle's
neck before topping up and recorking for the second fermentation.

4. prickly pear ; can refer to the fruit but more usually emphasizes the
armored pads of Opuntia ficus-indica.

5. a small branching columnar cactus of the North American desert.

6. a viral disease, similar to rabies, that causes encephalitis in
warm-blooded animals.

7. leaf and plant litter on a jungle floor.

8. an intermediate stage in the making of sauerkraut .

9. the process undergone by snow when it's compacted.

10. in pre-revolutionary France, a tax on the carriage of tools of a
trade across provincial boundaries.

11. compensation paid for detention of a ship, freight car, or other
cargo conveyance during loading or unloading beyond the scheduled
time of departure.

12. _Hist._ the ratio of a vessel's draft to its extent above the
waterline; _spec._ the extent of a ship's hull devoted to gun ports.

13. arms bearing as both the right and the duty of free men.

14. retaliation for wrongs or injury received; a return match, regarded
as a loser's opportunity to even the score [Fr.]

15. in fluid mechanics, the boost in the speed of flow when the Reynolds
number exceeds 6.

16. 1. consanguinity; kinship 2. close relationship

17. a pledge of loyalty, especially to a conqueror.

Oops! For some reason I thought I had till this a.m. to send a definition. Oh, well. I've rec'd enough "zero" votes that it probably doesn't matter whether I send one or not. :-(

And I think I'm a DQ. Well, that makes life easy, doesn't it? LOL! I'll send a private message to be sure.

It sounds as though it should be something do to with sabres, but it
probably isn't, so I'll fall for the viral disease and the compensation for
delay, 6 and 11:

6. a viral disease, similar to rabies, that causes encephalitis in
warm-blooded animals.

11. compensation paid for detention of a ship, freight car, or other
cargo conveyance during loading or unloading
beyond the scheduled time of departure.

Your overall round average will be better if you just sit out the round
rather than DQ with no def submitted for a 0-point ³participated² round!

The first task of an editor is to save the writer from him- or herself, no
matter how painful the process.

11. compensation paid for detention of a ship, freight car, or other
cargo conveyance during loading or unloading beyond the scheduled
time of departure.

12. _Hist._ the ratio of a vessel's draft to its extent above the
waterline; _spec._ the extent of a ship's hull devoted to gun ports.

I hadn't thought about that. Then again, one might like to see a higher DQ average since it happens so seldom. LOL!

I'll try alpha and omega this time around:

1. the formal salute to the opponent and to the judges prior to the start
of a fencing match.

and

17. a pledge of loyalty, especially to a conqueror.

Not having a clue, I would normally go with vox pop: 1 & 11, which have 4
votes each. But I don't believe either of them, so I'll up the scores of
the two defs next in line, with 3 votes each: that's 2 and 14.
