If the last round was for the birds, there was something fishy about
this round. While debating wither to combine Jim Hart's naked adjective
with John Barrs' similar noun for a skinny dipper, I completely missed
the fact that the first two definitions were so similar that I should
have combined them, a fact I didn't notice until a few seconds after
hitting "send" on the definition posting.

I briefly thought that I should apologize to Dodi and Steve for my goof,
until the first vote came in for the pair, and others followed it.
While Efrem's prawn collected the most votes at five, Dodi's walleye got
four votes and she, along with four others, identified the pale and
sickly adjective as correct.

All yours (again), Dodi.
