[Dixonary] Round 2632: Voting time for TOOT-MOOT

[Dodi Schultz]

It's time to try to discern the true meaning of TOOT-MOOT; it's one of the
delightfully varied definitions listed below. Your chances of selecting the
right one are greater than usual, since there are a mere sixteen
possibilities from which to choose. (Some of our regular players didn't
submit defs this round.)

Vote for the TWO you think most likely to be the real, dictionary
definition, by direct reply to this message. Didn't send a def of your own?
You may still vote. Brand new, just joining the game? You may vote, too.

(Exception: If you now recognize what you know to be the true def, you may
NOT vote. You must disqualify yourself, but don't do so publicly; send a
private message to me to that effect, identifying the def you believe is
the real one.)

The deadline for casting your votes is Tuesday, 11 August, 10 p.m. EDT,
which is:

Tuesday, 7 p.m. PDT
Tuesday, 9 p.m. CDT
Wednesday, 12 August, 3 a.m. BST
Wednesday, 4 a.m. CEST
Wednesday, noon AEST
Wednesday, 2 p.m. NZST

1. a bowl of dates and goat's milk traditionally offered at various Middle
Eastern festivals, representing the Cup of Divination, which in Persian
mythology held the elixir of immortality or _tut-mut_.

2. [Anglo-Indian] a ceiling-mounted cooling fan made of a palm leaf or
leaves, and moved by rope by a servant outside the room.

3. a horn used to call cows into the barn for milking; used by settlers in
the U.S. from the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland.

4. a loud, raucous party. [1930s Am. slang; first used in print by writer
Dashiell Hammett in _The Dain Curse_]

5. [Naut.] to keep the course when closehauled with but little steering;
said of a vessel.

6. a Cajun dish based on crawfish, rice and bell peppers with seasonings.

7. a particularly complete collection of any collectable item.

8. a bone or other object retrieved from a garbage pile.

9. [Br. sl.] a double roundabout in a roadway.

10. a wide grin. [Scots: a mouth full of teeth]

11. [ch. Louisiana sl.] highest (as of a hill)

12. a low, muttered conversation.

13. a handsome moustache.

14. non-binding arbitration.

15. a braggart.

16. all in vain.

I think a wide grin goes with a handsome moustache, so I'll vote for 10
and 13.

I'm fond of cajun cooking and married a gal from N'awlins, so let's take
both votes to the bayou.

6 and 11 please.

They are certainly “delightfully varied.” Only problem is that I don’t find any of them credible, except my own. :)

Having no better inspiration, after eliminating a couple of really bad puns, and in the absence of any kind of rubble between walls, I’ll try 2 and 4.

We have a tie for first place, with Nancy Shepherdson's loud party (#4)
and Efrem Mallach's crawfish dish (#6) each attracting four votes. The
deal goes to Efrem, who outranks Nancy by two points in the rolling
scores. And nobody picked the real definition, #12. :-)

Congratulation on the D0!

My belated tip of the hat to the D0.

BTW I didn't read the results immediately as (on the Groups website) the
announcement appears as just another response to the "voting time" thread
not a new topic even though I see you gave it a new subject line. Just
wondering if this is cos you emailed it as a reply to your own earlier
posting.

That's weird.

As a reply? Nope. No idea why it should thus appear. Has it ever happened
before? (I hardly ever go to the site. Just occasionally when I want to see
if something I expected is there although it hasn't arrived in my inbox.)

The site is weird. I've never understood what happens to fonts there.
Mostly, whatever I send (or anyone else sends), things arrive here in
Courier. Your message, however, came through in Verdana. And why does the
site do what it does to italics and boldface? Doesn't it speak HTML?

It's not just Dixonary, BTW. Our block association is also a GoogleGroup,
and the same sort of stuff happens.

May have happened before, but not recently.

I do recall there used to be occasionally the opposite problem where if
someone changed the subject line in a reply (possibly because it was OT)
it had the effect of changing the subject line for the entire thread. That
was far more confusing.

Fonts are a whole nother story with many variables. I've given up trying to
anticipate that.
