I don't believe 1, but I like it.

Resisting the temptation to vote for both girdle defs, I'll actually
go for the a short one and a long one (very scientific!):

14 and 16 please.

I'll cleave the girdles and cleave to definitons 3 and 15, the
ungirdled dilution.

I'll go with #14 and #15 because . . .oh. . .I guess because they're short, and I'm short, so I felt a kinship.

I'll take 4, because it's odd, and 8, because it's oblique...as all
good Dixon defs should be.
