Our inventive players have concocted all but one of the 21 definitions
for NOWY presented below for your edification and entertainment. The
remaining definition is, believe it or not, real.
Please vote for the two you think the best, for some value (or values)
of "good" that seems appropriate to you (such as plausible,
politically correct, embarrassing, witty, implausible, long, or as
chosen by a random number generator). You can do this whether or not
you have not submitted a definition, and whether or not you have
played before. You're not allowed to vote if you know the right answer.
Vote by public reply to this message, by the deadline, which is on 22
