[Dixonary] Round 2764: FLASH KEN call for voting

[Tim B]

Many apologies for the delay in posting the definitions; I'd planned to do this in the only gap in a
busy day, and then found we had no broadband. I hope I haven't lost any; there seem to be far fewer
than usual.

Please vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this one), before the
deadline, which is 9 am GMT (0900 UTC) on Tuesday 13th December. That might well be 4 am in New
York, 1 am on the West Coast and so on.

New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this round. Don't look in a
dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious, can be seen at www.dixonary.net.

1: a rotating coat rack.

2: a house that harbours thieves.

3: [Sc.] a sudden idea, realization or understanding.

4: [Sc. colloq.] "Seriously!", "It's true!"

5: a slang term for a member of the paparazzi.

6: someone who uses the slang or cant of thieves and prostitutes.

7: an instrument for producing curves by a combination of circular movements.

8: a six-barrelled rocket mortar used by the German forces in the Second World War (1939-45).

9: [derog. sl.] a follower of Labour leader Ken Livingstone, especially one with anti-Semitic views.

10: a technique to remove small superficial tumors from the eye using short bursts of laser beams
at a tuned frequency (KEN = Keratectomy of Epithelial Neoplasms).

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

#6, on the grounds that it sounds less impossible than most of the others, and #10, because it's so obviously contrived that it can't possibly be right, so it probably is.

2 because it uses the British spelling of harbours and 4 because it’s so obviously false that it might be a double bluff. (And if it’s true, I’ll actually use the word in response.)

I'll go for the party Susan for coats and the house that definitely
wouldn't have one (or not for very long anyway) - that is #1 and #2 please

Strange bunch of thieves that would steal a coat rack.

A thieves' house wouldn't have a coat rack because no-one would ever
have the nerve to use it and expect to ever see their coat again
