for two:
1. Pregnancy.
2. Distasteful; abhorrent.
3. To reconsider an offer.
4. To entreat or importune.
5. To cause to be unable to think clearly; confuse.
6. [St. Lucia} The statue of Queen Victoria in Castries.
7. [Naut. slang] To promote a seaman to bosun's mate.
8. An advisor to the Tzar; one that is suspected to be advising
covertly.
9. A type of plaster made from finely ground peat or lignin and mixed
with lime.
10. [Obs] an elegant ingenious phrase, metaphor, etc.; hence becoming a
conceit.
11. A transparent material made largely from recycled paper, and itself
able to be recycled.
12. A foolish or stupid act, esp. an action carried out without first
thinking of the consequences.
The deadline for voting is 11am Tuesday 20 September my time (NZDT) or:

I'll try pregnancy - very unlikely to be true - and the plaster - just
about possible. That's 1 and 9, pleas
*e.*
1. Pregnancy.
9. A type of plaster made from finely ground peat or lignin and mixed
with lime.

None of them seem credible, including my own. Procrastinating further will not improve that.
In a fit of nostalgia for the old "five and dime" stores, from back when that amount of U.S. currency could actually purchase something useful, I'll vote 5 and 10.
