12 is the only possible real answer, but I suspect the word might be made up so I’ll throw my second vote at #2.

Happy New Year to all!
A tip of the hat to the author of #2 (or perhaps I should say the
submitter; the original author of that word can get something quite
different from my).
But my votes are for #1 (because I have no clue what a pillory is, which
makes it a 100% synonym of gofe for me), and #4 (because it sounds
delicious)
Cheers,
Hugo

I agree with the consensus that the longer ones are more credible, but I'll deviate from the norm a bit to pick 10 & 12.
Happy New Year to everyone!!!
