Herewith are sixteen definitions for ARGHNESS, fifteen of which came from the creative minds of our players and one from a dictionary.

Yes, there are two definitions which were obvious candidates for combining. I decided they were different enough to leave them apart.
1: a state of euphoria
2: _Scot._ mystery; obscurity
3: [Irish] a turf-cutting spade
4: sensitivity to radiation from any source
5: [Scots] quality of being pleasant or welcome
6: a weakness in the bowels following a moderate 10-15 pints of Guiness
7: a derogatory title for an orchestra member or section playing too loud, fast, or slow
8: a measure of the degree of frustration engendered by a situation, thing or person whose natural unit is the dammit. Ten dammits (1 decadammit, S.I. symbol dd) are also called one ohshit [deprecated]
9: a measure of the level of frustration or annoyance, ranging from minor (you lost the phone number of that cute barmaid in Tallahassee, or was it San Antonio?) to major (your preteen children are arrested after trashing the Chucky Cheese restaurant while at the neighbor kid's birthday celebration)
10: [Scot.] the promontory at the north end of the Isle of Lewis; any promontory facing a natural arch in the sea
11: a headland with rocks between the tide levels on to which wreckers lured ships
12: an emotional condition combining woe and anger
13: _Obs._ cowardice, pusillanimity, timidity
14: an unresponsiveness to pleasure
15: the quality of being smooth
16: bluff, headland [Gael.]
