Looks right to me. Apart from my zero but I guess you aren't to blame for
that - knew I should have followed vox pop.

Well done.

It's very unusual for me to be a DQ -- but the minute I saw "fugacious," I remembered "tempus fugit" ("time flies") and assumed that "fugacious" meant something relating to time and/or flies. "Fleeting" seemed to fit.

Although tempus fugit is normally thought of as meaning "time flies," I
prefer to view it as "time flees"

That's what a "fugitive" does, after all.

(In Spanish, fugar means to escape, flee, etc.)

[Paul Keating]

One of the senses of fly is flee.

They come from different OE words (flee < fléon, fly < fléo?an) but the OED says

The confusion between the verbs flee and fly occurs already in Old English. In northern dialects the form flee is the normal phonetic descendant both of Old English fléon to flee and of fléo?an to fly. In modern English the association of the two verbs has the curious result that the ordinary prose equivalent of Latin fugere is fly with past tense and past participle fled (the forms flew, flown have only the sense of Latin volare), while flee has become archaic, being confined to more or less rhetorical or poetic diction. Even fly and fled, indeed, now [sc. 1896 ?PK] belong rather to literary than to colloquial English: expressions like ?run away? being substituted in familiar speech.

Flies or fleas, both are hard to time.

I guess I DQ'd for the wrong reason -- but I *did* recognize the correct definition. :-)

I know this discussion is now history but for the record I don't think you
were a DQ regardless of your reasoning. The rules are clear that knowing
the word is not the same as intelligent deduction for which you deserve to
be rewarded.

I agree with Jim. You don't score two points for having randomly picked the
right number definition. Well, you COULD, but it can also result from an
actual thought-process.

Any player knows whether or not they KNEW the word vs. figured it out.

Actually, that was also my reaction. It sounded to me as if she were
sharing her reasoning with us and assuming that she was right. That = an
educated guess. (Anyway, DQs are normally directed privately to the dealer,
not displayed for all to see, because what's known to others about the DQer
may give other players clues.)

Sorry about that. I am rarely a "DQ," so I'm not used to the procedure. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the method used by others. And I see your point about "intelligent deduction" and will keep that in mind.

I've done this too, in my relatively short time playing.

There should be a "supervote" or honourable mention awarded to the def that
fooled a player into DeQueueing!

IMHO there should be a special award for the dealer who scores aÂ* D0 in which JohnnyB is not DQ!
