We have a wonderfully varied selection of definitions for
you this time. Vote for TWO of them, as a public forum
message (in reply to this one), before the deadline: 6 pm
BST (1700 GMT/UTC) on Tuesday 19 June. That's probably 1 pm
EDT and 10 am PDT, and so on. A little shorter than usual,
as I'll be out later that evening and didn't want to keep
you waiting until morning for the results.
New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a
definition this round. Don't look in a dictionary. Full
rules, if you're curious, are in the file "The Rules of
Dixonary.txt" in the library of the Coryphaeus Yahoo group.
1: executioner.
2: a small hairpiece.
3: a clumsy or inept dancer.
4: flying or streaming in the air.
5: [Fr.] a hat worn by a naval officer.
6: a piece of fabric painted to resemble a tapestry.
7: battlement or turret on the outer wall of a castle.
8: a light carriage for carrying two people and a driver.
9: a stew of lamb, green beans, and small roasted
potatoes.
10: overshoe with a very thick wooden sole used to walk
through mud.
11: a kind of light horse-drawn coach or carriage which is
for hire.
12: an architectural or metalwork ornament imitating
braided ribbons.
13: a very hard-crusted type of bread, often used for
crumbling into soups and bouillon.
14: a scallop-shaped dish or a scallop shell in which
various seafood dishes are browned and served.
15: the type of crown first worn by William I ("the
Conqueror") of plain gold consisting of 6 points over a
braided border.
16: any of several dishes of fish or white meat that are
cooked in a sauce of red wine, bacon and often baby onions
and mushrooms, and that are specialties of Burgundy, the
Dombes, and Bresse.
Best wishes,
Tim B
