View Full Version : [Dixonary] Round 2572 word: OBAMBULATE

Fellow Dixonarists,

The word for Round 2572, barring an excess of disqualifications, is:

*************************************
OBAMBULATE
*************************************

Capitalization is not significant.

Please come up with a definition that you hope your fellow players will find convincing, amusing, or whatever, and send it by private e-mail to emallach - at - verizon - dot - net. Don't Reply to this message, as that will send your definition to the whole group.

If you know the word, please tell me that by private e-mail as well. If enough people know it, I'll pick another word. If I don't do that, you can still submit an invented definition. You just can't vote if you know what its true definition is.

The deadline for submitting definitions is 34+ hours from now: 9 pm (2100 hours) U.S. Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday, Jan. 6. According to a time conversion Web site, that is also:

8 pm, same date, U.S. Central Daylight Time
6 pm, same date, U.S. Pacific Daylight Time
2 am, Wed., Jan. 7, British Standard Time (and UTC)
3 am, Wed., Jan. 7, Continental Europe Time
1 pm, Wed., Jan. 7, Australian Eastern Daylight Time

and so on if anyone is anywhere else. I don't take responsibility for the conversions. Please confirm yours. I'll send out the list of definitions as soon as possible after my watch reads 9 am the day after tomorrow. If you want to plan ahead, the voting deadline will be about 36 hours after that.

New players are welcome! Full rules, should they or anyone else want them, can be found at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules .

Let's try the times again:

9 am, Tuesday, Jan. 6, U.S. Eastern Standard Time
8 am, same date, U.S. Central Standard Time
6 am, same date, U.S. Western Standard Time
2 pm, same date, British Standard Time (and UTC)
3 pm, same date, Continental European Time
1 am, Wed., Jan. 7, Australian Eastern Daylight Time

Sorry about that. I was feeling time pressure. Should have taken a few more minutes to get it right, though.

As of 4 pm Eastern U.S. time on Monday, Jan. 5, about halfway through the definition period, I have definitions of OBAMBULATE from players Barrs, Bourne, Cunningham, Hale, Keating, Lodge, Madnick, Shefler, Stevens, Weltz, and Widdis. They should all have received personal confirmations.

If you sent a definition but your name isn't listed, please send it again. A public message that you did so may prevent this submission from suffering whatever fate befell the first one. (It's unlikely to have gone astray or to have been classified as spam, but I may have mistaken it for a NAD.)

If you haven't sent a definition yet, you have about 17 more hours. Definitions are due by:

9 am, Tuesday, Jan. 6, U.S. Eastern Standard Time
8 am, same date, U.S. Central Standard Time
6 am, same date, U.S. Western Standard Time
2 pm, same date, British Standard Time (and UTC)
3 pm, same date, Continental European Time
1 am, Wed., Jan. 7, Australian Eastern Daylight Time
3 am, Wed., Jan. 7, New Zealand Daylight Time

(I will go by the time in my time zone, U.S. Eastern Standard Time. Conversions to other time zones are not guaranteed to be correct, though I think they are.)

New players are welcome! Full rules, should they or anyone else want them, can be found at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules .

Fellow Dixonarists,

Here are 16 definitions, 15 of them intended to convince you that OBAMBULATE means something that it does not. The other, somewhere in the list, is its real meaning:

1. [Med. obs] to catch yellow fever. [_bulam-fever_ is the name given yellow fever by natives on the West African coast]
2. to cause a bridge to enter potentially destructive vibration as the result of troops marching in step across it.
3. ornamentally incised with patterns of randomized scrolls.
4. to speak in a cheeky or peevish manner; to whinge.
5. forming a hindrance, impediment, or obstruction.
6. to avoid an issue or skirt round a subject.
7. to espouse deceptive nonsense.
8. to walk away from; to ignore.
9. to lower the body abruptly.
10. to hop around on one foot.
11. to walk about, to wander.
12. to criticize harshly.
13. [rare] to sleepwalk.
14. to pace to and fro.
15. to be a servant.
16. lazy; slothful.

Please select two you like for any reason (perhaps because you think they're most likely to be correct, but that's up to you) and announce your votes by Reply to this message. Voting will close in about 36 hours, at 9 pm (2100 hours) U.S. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, Jan 7. I think that is also:

8 pm, Wed., Jan. 7, U.S. Central Standard Time
6 pm, Wed., Jan. 7, U.S. Western Standard Time
2 am, Thurs., Jan. 8, British Standard Time (and UTC)
3 am, Thurs., Jan. 8, Continental European Time
1 pm, Thurs., Jan. 8, Australian Eastern Daylight Time
3 pm, Thurs., Jan. 8, New Zealand Daylight Time

and perhaps other times in other places. I don't take responsibility for the time zone conversions. Please confirm yours if you're not sure.

New players are welcome, even if you didn't submit a definition for this word. Full rules can be found at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules .

Happy voting,

Efrem

1 is so unlikely it might just be right, and for my other vote I'll choose
one of the three adjectives, 3:

1. [Med. obs] to catch yellow fever. [_bulam-fever_ is the name given
yellow fever by natives on the West African coast]

3. ornamentally incised with patterns of randomized scrolls.

posting for the word so it didn't start a new thread.

I'll follow vox pop to 14 that I believe, and hop on over to 10 that I
don't believe, but find an amusing mental image.

The votes are in, no late submissions showed up in 20+ minutes after the deadline, and the clear winner this time is Paul Keating. His "to pace to and fro" (definition14) earned six points, more than any other player. He was also one of two players to vote for the correct definition - 11, "to walk about, to wander" - for a total of eight. Second place honors go to Dick Weltz and Tim Lodge with 5 each.

John Barrs, with his disqualification note, sent some additional background on this word. With his permission, I will quote his message:

> I definitely know this one - walk to and fro - or walk back and forth: I have come across it it works about where the soul is after death - I never found it after the restoration (of the monarchy in 1670) and it appears to be limited to Presbyterian writers after the publishing of the King James Bible in 1611 and during the commonwealth: - the decision is that they do not obambulate no matter where they are.


And a public apology to Guerri Stevens, to whom I have already apologized privately, for losing her "a highly-polluted or poisonous precipitation, usually in the form of rain." It arrived properly, well within the time limit; I acknowledged it; I somehow neglected to transfer it to my spreadsheet. Two dealer points for her.

It's all yours, Paul.
