[Dixonary] Round 2599: LYMPHAD [Definitions]

[Paul Keating]

This word clearly afforded our inventive players little scope for their
talents, so the crop of definitions is far from bumper. (It is a South
African habit to use words predicatively that other varieties of English
use only attributively, as in My father was John Piliso and my mother’s
name was Emily. Both are late.)

But what they lack in quantity they make up for in variety, and all but one
of the fourteen implausible definitions for LYMPHAD presented below for
your edification and entertainment are fictitious. 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

No body fluids or like substances for me so I'll go for the "straws" #4
and now being totally at a loss I suppose I will just add ten and go for
#14 - there is at least a sort of communality there

*4. A type of stalagmite which forms as a hollow tube.

Submitting a def was on my to-do list yesterday but I didn't get to it
until it was too late, alas.

Submitting a vote is on my to-do list today, and I'll mark it off with a
guess at the Greek spirit and the oysters, 6 and 13.

The "lymph" connection seems too obvious, but I'll buy it anyhow. 9 and 12, please.

I was tempted by several, starting with the aquaphobic 2 but that surely
would be a dry-ad. The oysters made me smile but that's as far as it went.
Oars and heraldry made a challenging but not vote-winning combination. The
lymphatic system references seem too obvious for our wily dealer, though
they made me realise I have no idea where lymph comes from (etymoldogically
or otherwise) so that's something else to look up later. But wait, maybe
the early anatomists were equally mystified by those bloodless hollow tubes
so for want of any better reason I'll go tubular (cue Rick Wakeman) with 4
and 14

Well, the crowd seems to have diverged into two or three distinct groups. I
don't think it has anything to do with the lymph system, and I've no idea
what it does have to do with.

I'll go with the 4 and 14 voters.
