[Dixonary] Round 2672 -- RUCK -- Vote Now

[endash@verizon.net]

Here are 19 definitions for that word of many meanings, RUCK. All but one
are clever constructions of the players, and the other is copied directly
from a major dictionary.

Please cast your vote for any two by open post to the list in order to be
received by Sunday, January 3, at 2:00 PM EST or the equivalent in your
time zone. Good luck to all.

9 is irresistible, and double it for 18, which might even be real. And a
happy '16 to all.

Honorable mentions to the authors of 5 and 9 which perhaps should be
combined. Likewise 4 and 12 make an possible pair since either might ask "I
suppose a ruck would be out of the question?".

My votes however go to other sporting arenas, even though I know nothing
about horse racing and rugby - 3 and 8.

5 and 9 have a traditional appeal … but it sounds like something a sportsperson would come up with. I’ll try 3 and 8.

I hope I'm not too late!

I got all wrapped up in Sunday's political news programs.

Hastily, hoping Dick hasn't tallied the votes yet, and with no real fondness for any of the defs:

15. food or other provisions

and

19. a flat four-wheeled wagon for carrying goods
