Vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this one), before the deadline,
which is 0700 UTC on Saturday 4 July. That's 8 am BST, and probably 3 am on the East Coast and
midnight on the West Coast.

New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this round. Don't look in a dictionary.

1: a rabble rouser

2: a thin, flying cloud

3: a trickster; a mischief-maker.

4: to spoil or ruin (as plans, etc.)

5: runoff or debris from a glacial stream.

6: a piece of coloured glass used in mosaic

7: the least bit : smidgen, semblance, trace.

8: [S. Afr. Obs.] scoundrel, cheat [Afk. skurk]

9: a mechanism attached to a hinge to keep a door open

10: a knockdown of all pins in a frame of nine-pin bowling

11: [Scot.] an outlying rock in a reef or chain of rocks at sea.

12: waste metal attached to a cast coin, esp. a counterfeit coin.

13: to rummage or search around, especially for a possible profit.

14: [Scots] a weed named for its fanciful resemblance to a skeleton.

15: [Scot. Obs.] a wagon used for transporting goods between docks and warehouses.

16: a sharp-ended dinghy used as a service boat for a schooner, esp. in the cod fishing industry.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

As probably my last interaction with the game from the Land of the Free

for #`12 as a specific example of #7

I'm pretty certain it's a noun, but that doesn't eliminate very many
possibilities, and the rest all seem equally reasonable. I'll take a stab at:

> 12: waste metal attached to a cast coin, esp. a counterfeit coin.
and
> 15: [Scot. Obs.] a wagon used for transporting goods between docks and
> warehouses.
