[Dixonary] Round 2566: BAUSE [Definitions]

[Paul Keating]

Our inventive players have concocted all but one of the nineteen
definitions for BAUSE presented alphabetically 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 Thursday
11 December 2014 at

I'll take both types of public shaming: 15 and 16. And probably subject
myself to some.

8 is impossible (impassible?) and 15 and 16 should be combined -- but since
they aren't, 8 and 16

I don't think I'm going to be any further enlightened between now and noon
tomorrow, so may as well vote now.
I don't think it's either of these, so it might be:

7. Bav. sl.an illegal beer hall


19. word-alternation slang adding ‘av’ or ‘va’ to ends of syllables
