Yeah... I saw that one coming like a freight train!
Guess it looked like "corbel" to a lot of other folks,
too. Ah, well... new word coming up!

I'll say! I would never have voted for that one because it doesn't
seem at all likely that anyone would or could make bricks that way.
Congratulations!

Hi John,

> I managed a D0 - yeah!

And a well-deserved D0 it is!

After casting my votes and seeing that my def turned out to be quite
popular, I checked some online dictionaries to find out if I'd get another
two points for guessing right. Most online dictionaries didn't have any
definition that was in the list, but I did encounter this definition many
times:

"A square brick, tile, or the like."

And I thought: "that definition is even better then whatever the correct
definition is - the wording is so undictionarily that nobody would ever vote
for it. Shame that John didn't pick this definition".

Well, I'm glad that the definition you did choose was just as good or even
better!!
