Boy! No fooling YOU folks! Webster tied with Tim
Lodge for first place, with 9 votes. I liked a lot of
the defs, but the votes were kinda lopsided. I think
a record number of you voted for the winner and the
dictionary (1 and 17).
A distant second is Scott Crom with 5, and Russ
Heimerson with 4.
And here's the final tally:
1. [Scot.] to perplex or confuse.
Submitter: Lodge Votes: 7 & *17*
2 + 7 = 9
Voted for by: Cunningham; Madnick; Keating; Crom;
Heimerson; Abell;
Scott
2. Confused; distracted.
Submitter: Stevens Votes: 12 & 14

3. A thin, irregular coating of ice formed from
freezing dew.
Submitter: Hirst Votes: 12 & 15
0 + 1 = 1

4. [Br. sl.] to do or undertake (back formation from
_feasible_ q.v.)
Submitter: Cunningham Votes: 1 & *17*
2 + 1 = 3
Voted for by: Carson
5. card game in which the jack of clubs has the
highest value.
Submitter: Madnick Votes: 1 & *17*
2 + 0 = 2
Voted for by:
6. The outward curve at the top and bottom of a
column where the shaft
