[Dixonary] Round 2779 FLEAK Defs - Vote Now!

[Tim Lodge]

Sorry that I'm a bit late posting this - I got carried away reading the
Sunday papers over breakfast!

Here are 13 imaginative defs of the word FLEAK, only one of which came from
my dictionary. Please vote for your two favourites by public reply to this
message before the deadline, which is:

18:00 UTC/GMT on Monday 13th February
19:00 CET
1:00 PM EST
10:00 AM PST
05:00 AEDT on Tuesday in Melbourne
07:00 NZDT on Tuesday in New Zealand

New players are always welcome - just don't look up the word until after
you've voted.

-- Tim L

*** FLEAK ***

1. a small adjustment.

2. to scratch repeatedly.

3. an unfired clay target.

4. [Scots] thriving; plump.

5. a fragment of a rainbow.

6. [Scots] to forget an obligation

7. a term of reproach used to a woman.

8. dirt; stain (from German: "flecken")

9. in certain card games, a particular meld.

10. a specialized oven designed for drying vegetables.

11. soft lightweight plain-woven or twilled silk fabric.

12. a type of condenser used in the distilling of Scotch whisky.

13. flawed; metaphorically shady as in a shady deal [ME. possibly
a misspelling of flake]

Hi Tim,

I like #7 and #12 best.
(I do not think they are correct; I think none of these is correct. I
just like them).

Cheers,
Hugo
