What a great, imaginative, amazing set of 21 definitions for little mazut. There
were no DQs, not even you-know-who, so everyone can have a whack. Please
vote for two, publicly, by 2 p.m. CDT (7 p.m. GMT) on Friday April 18.
Good luck!
Nancy

It's very difficult to choose - I believe almost all of them! I'll go for
the Russian residue and the pestle, 7 and 11:
7. The viscous liquid left as residue after the distillation of Russian
petroleum, used as fuel oil and a coarse lubricant.
11. A rounded stone implement used for crushing and grinding.
