[Dixonary] Round 2608 zeigarnik Defs up for voting!

[—Keith Hale—]

Hello, all, and also sundry! With 15 actual player defs in, i'm going to
invoke the dealer-needs-sleep,-so-we-start-2 hours-early clause of da
rules. So here we go with the voting stage!
(Zero DQs, once again, bee-tee-dubbleyew!)

The deadline for voting is still going to be 01:00AM; Sunday, 17 May,
2015CE. All of that is Texas Time, Central Time Zone (UTC-06:00).

If, upon perusing the list you are sure that you can see the real
definition, PLEASE do not vote, - OR hit "Reply" at all.
Instead, please send me a private email to [ thoughtstorms (AT) gmail (DOT) com ]
telling me that you have to disqualify yourself.
Keeps it fair, and hopefully won't happen much.

New players are always welcome, you may vote even if you didn't submit a
definition.

I think 1 and 2 describe Keith's movie character, although I'm sure his
performance was the opposite of 3.

The -nik sounds either Yiddish or Russian, which means it's neither, so
I'll exclude 4, 14, and 16.

I will buy, however, that it's eponymous, so 15 gets my first vote. And
8 sounds like the day I'm having.

Back from Scotland, so around and with normal internet service for the next couple of weeks.

I'll try 14 and 16, please.

Best wishes,

[Judy Madnick]

I'm afraid I'm being swayed by the "-nik" suffix, but I'll fall for these:

1> a low-class actor, with the characteristic of ‘playing to the gallery’.
and
16> a connoisseur or enthusiast of vodka

The eponymous ones sound reasonable. I'd go for #8, but a psychological tendency should be something like "Zeigarnik tendency," not just "Zeigarnik," and #15 is too obscure even for Dixonary. And I can eliminate a few more on the grounds that they sound too much like a real term for the concept in the "definition."

I'll try eats and drinks: 10 and 16. #10 will help absorb #16, and the weekend is coming!

I'm thinking it's more Russian than Yiddish, so I'll go for 11 and 16:

11>> a cigar smoker.

16>> a connoisseur or enthusiast of vodka.
