View Full Version : [Dixonary] Round 2635 QUARRONS Defs - Vote Now

Tim Lodge
August 20th, 2015, 10:30 AM
Here we have 15 definitions of the word QUARRONS - slightly fewer than I
would have wished, but I think some people are on holiday/vacation,
Fourteen of the defs were hand-crafted by you the players, and one came
from my dictionary. Please vote, by public reply to this message, for the
two which most tickle your fancy or which you think are most likely to be
true, before the deadline which is:

23:00 CET on Friday 21st August
or 22:00 BST for the dealer
or 21:00 UTC
or 5:00 PM EDT
or 2:00 PM PDT
or 07:00 AEST on Saturday 22nd
or 09:00 NZT on Saturday 22nd

I'm now crossing my fingers that the formatting will work out.

I hope 11's true, and I doubt 14 but think it's a longshot.

Sounds like a plural, but that could be deliberately deceptive … I’ll try plural clothing, 3 and 4. I don’t believe them, but they look as good as anything else!
