[Dixonary] Round 2539: BATZ [Definitions]

[Paul Keating]

Our inventive players have concocted all but one of the fifteen definitions
for BATZ presented below for your edification and entertainment. The
remaining definition is, believe it or not, real.

Please vote for the two you think the best, for some value (or values) of
"good" that seems appropriate to you (such as plausible, politically
correct, embarrassing, witty, implausible, long, or as chosen by a random
number generator). You can do this whether or not you have submitted a
definition, and whether or not you have played before. You're not allowed
to vote if you know the right answer.

Vote by public reply to this message, by the deadline, which is on
Wednesday 3 September 2014 at

- noon PDT
- 13:00 MDT
- 14:00 CDT
- 15:00 EDT
- 19:00 UTC
- 20:00 BST
- 21:00 CEST for me

and on Thursday 4 September 2014 at

- 05:00 EST in Melbourne.

1. An almond liqueur.
2. A soft, thick woolen cloth.
3. To fiddle or trifle with something.
4. A seal or insignia on a counterfeit document.
5. A high-voltage dimmer array used in theatrical lighting.
6. A kind of deep pile carpet manufactured originally in Austria.
7. The fragments removed from diamonds when cutting, used to make diamond
powder.
8. A small coin worth four kreuzers in Switzerland and South Germany;
originally having as device the bear of Berne, where it was first coined.
9. Boldness, enterprise, shrewdness (coined in the late 1920s, after the
trademark name of a soft drink).
10. A soft cap worn by New Zealand non-commissioned officers in WW II.
11. A short shirt worn by Afghan men under a shalwar khameez.
12. A granite-like rock containing cuprous crystals.
13. A Middle-Eastern marzipan sweetmeat.

I've been dreaming about bears lately, so I'll vote for #8 and add #6 in
case I get a bearskin carpet.
