[Dixonary] Round 2596 NURRIOR scores

[Shani Naylor]

Hi all

Many players believed that NURRIOR was some sort of person. And indeed it
was. Except that no-one guessed the particular type of person -- a
foster-father (except Johnny B, who was DQ), leaving the dealer with a
score of D0. The top scorer this round with 5 points was Efrem Mallach,
with his foodie monk. The real winners, with 4 points each, were Chris
Carson, Dan Widdis & Tim Lodge.

Take it away Efrem!

[JohnB]

congrats on the D0

For information: my DQ was late (after the posting of the defs). My wife
asked me what word we were playing and when I told her she said "That is
French for a wet nurse" At that point I decided that the English have
never understood a language where nouns have gender so it could easily
be any kind of foster parent and then my mind remembered norry in the
context of a fostering so ... --years ago I had looked up and researched
foster because that is my wife's maiden name - so its all her fault
