The votes weren't very widely distributed on this round - defs 11 and
12 gathered 42% of the votes between them! The next deal goes to
Scott Crom with 8 unnatural points for his greasy feeling, while Russ
Heimerson can sit back and relax as the real winner with a natural 7
for omitted text. Two of you guessed that the real def was No. 6 -
the oilskin coat or jacket.
Over to you, Scott.
