3 & 12, please. The codpiece is just a great bluff or word, and perfume is
my lifelong kryptonite.
Cheers

This time I think I'll choose what I believe to be the least-likely definitions. :-)

9. shell money used by American Indians of northern California.
11. a floral arrangement that is designed to be used as a bird feeder once it has faded and dried.

Happy Holidays...and best wishes for a healthy, happy 2018!

The syllabic pattern on this one appears pretty distinctly Japanese, though
some of the other Pacific island-oriented definitions are intriguing, too.

I'm going culinary: 6 & 10, please.

I am sure it is neither 1 nor 12, but Johnny hasn't voted yet, so it must
be a word he knows.
