Sorry for the delay, but it did net two more votes. Shani Naylor's
maidenhair fern is the winner with the dictionary a close second. I used
the same dictionary Tim Bourne used the previous round.
1. The removal of the veil and chaplet after "first communion" as a part
of the rite of passage to adulthood; this being the first time a
young lady displays her hair in public. [RC. Latin America - now
going out of fashion]
Submitter: Barrs Votes: *4* & 9 2 + 0 = 2
Voted for by:
2. [Slang] On the prowl, looking for love.
Submitter: Hale Votes: *4* & 6 2 + 1 = 3
Voted for by: Bourne
3. The 1863 6d postage stamp of Great Britain, so called because, unlike
all the prior issues for Queen Victoria, her hair was not shown as
being in a bun.

acquaintance.
