January 23rd, 2017, 11:51 PM
Found somewhere in the dictionary between mico and milreis is:



*** MILCE-WITTER ***



Please send me your fabulous, fanciful, fake, fictitious, fairy-tale, fabricated, false, fantastical, forged, fabled, far fetched, fraudulent, flim flam, feigned, fanatical, and figmental definitions for MILCE-WITTER by email to widdis (AT) dixonary (DOT) net



Including MILCE-WITTER and/or 2775 in your subject line will reduce the chances that I'll miss your submission.



The deadline will be in just over 35 hours from this posting at 9 am PST on Wednesday, January 5. That's

Â*Noon EST on the Right Coast,

5pm GMT in the UK,

6pm CET in the Netherlands,

and Thursday at

4am AEDT in Melbourne, and

6am NZDT in Wellington.



Should I have missed or miscalculated your time zone, the authoritative deadline can be found on this page, which will convert the deadline to your own timezone and offer links to add calendar events and other tools.

I'll try the dairy mercenary and the baby-talk, 6 and 7, please:

6. A mercenary employed to safeguard dairy products, especially cheeses
traded through Hanseatic cities. Anglicized form of Milchritter (Low Middle

I'll try the milkish 6 and 7.

By the way, does anyone know (or care to speculate) why I didn't get the original list? I didn't know it had been posted until I saw Judy M.'s votes. I then went to the Google Group site and there it was, along with the other two (at that time) messages in this thread - both of which I received.

I checked my trash folder to see if I had thrown in out by mistake. I hadn't, nor had I emptied the trash after it was sent. My spam folder is empty.

Ideas?

The same thing happens to me occasionally and seemingly at random.

I'll vote for 7 & 9, and I thought the ice skating move sounded incredibly
dangerous for the man.
