Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And ended up right where I started. #8 please.

And #9 to reward whoever took the effort to get greek characters into
the etymology.

#9 is tempting … but, if this were the real definition, a dealer wouldn’t have included the Greek etymology because that makes it look less fake, hence more likely to get votes … but, knowing that, he would have included it to throw others off the track … and is “πλοκ� really Greek for “braid?� The mind boggles.

There are also a couple I think I recognize as real definitions of something else. They sound good, though.

Anyhow, my votes go to 5 and 7.
