I'll go with the ones that I think are least likely (and will probably still be wrong!):

3 and 16.

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
