Here are 17 definitions for galericulate, one of which came from a reputable dictionary.
Yes, I know the numbers start with 2. There is no definition #1. The computer is having a senior moment, just like its poerator.
Vote for your 2 favorites no later than 10 AM EDT, Thursday, May 8, 2014.
And no, I did not leave out the real def. I can't confidently say I didn't leave out someone else's.
You know who to complain to.

2. having the ability to move one's toes independently.

3. decomposed schist used as filtration media.

4. prickly.

5. in passerines, the condition of having a crossed bill.

6. to evaluate mathematically the dynamics of crowd-related disasters.

7. to stab or impale.

8. a joint having a structure like a knee or an elbow such as is found
in grass stems.

9. to cast down or ruin.

10. to interrupt a performance or formal proceedings; to heckle.

11. to reconstruct a sequence of events that occurred prior to the
lifetimes of the investigators, usually from eyewitness testimony,
written records either official or unofficial, and physical evidence.

12. to travel in a wobbly orbit.

13. 1. of weather, unsettled, threatening; 2. _fig._ tempestuous. [obs.]

14. [Scot.] bashful; timid; sheepish.

15. covered as with a hat or cap.

16. (of an arena or auditorium) arranged in tiers without fixed seats.

17. To prefigure indistinctly; foreshadow.

18. having a crystalline form characterized by gaps in the matrix.

I'm glad your computer has a poerator. I wish mine did. They come in so handy! Where did you get yours?

My mind is moving in a wobbly orbit. I'm feeling a little prickly. I
can't move my fingers independently. Maybe it's the decomposed schist in
my filter, but any more snide remarks may leave you liable to be
stabbed, impaled, cast down in ruin, or at the very least, heckled.

5 and 15 as first voter so I can't use Vox Pop. And a Poerator
is a Milanese seltzer maker.

Two anatomical definitions, sort of: 2 and 5.

(For what it's worth, I think a poerator is a person who evaluates 19th-century American writers.)

I thought it was someone who spoke "Nevermore."

Meanwhile I'll vote for 17 for use of "prefigure" and 11 for a somewhat
more verbose version of a similar concept.

In the absence of the real definition, I'll toss points to the authors of

and

5. in passerines, the condition of having a crossed bill.
