[Dixonary] Round 2013: earsh - Definition List

[Christopher Carson]

At last I've got things at least partially together. The defs are in and
compiled and the computer is hanging in there for the time being so here we
go.

There are a total of 19 definitions for EARSH; 18 or which were cleverly
crafted by the players while 1 was taken from an actual dictionary. Please
vote
for your two favorites, by public reply to this message, before deadline,
which is 9:00 AM EDT on Friday, June 19, 2009, or 6:00 AM PDT .

Yes, I know the deadline is a bit extended but I'm allowing myself some
'just in case' time while placing the end of the round at a time that's a
little more convenient.

1. Any of several tropical varieties of Brassica oleracea
(Acephala Group); also known as Polynesian cabbage.

2. [Gael.] An area of marshy bog.

3. _Obs. Dial._ Soft, usu. in "harsh and earsh" (hard and
soft). (Cornwall)

4. An Icelandic tribunal convened to settle property
disputes.

5. _Obs._ Loyal, faithful.

6. Marijuana-like drug smoked in North Africa.

7. Mishearing or misapprehension of spoken sounds.

8. A mistranslation.

9. [Dial.] Of weather, characterized by unusually strong
winds.

10. [Scots] 1. Humourous 2. A parody

11. Savage fierceness; ferocity (arch).

12. [Irish Sl.] Best.

13. A small hill.

14. A small rodent of southern Asia.

15. A stubble field.

16. To imply or suggest.

17. To produce a document hurriedly.

18. A tweed [see _Harris_].

19. A wax formed on the shells of certain beetles.

<< At last I've got things at least partially together.

"Partially" is better than not at all!

<< 7. Mishearing or misapprehension of spoken sounds.

<< 8. A mistranslation.

It strikes me that right now, we actually have more people playing
from CDT, England, the Netherlands, or Australia than from PDT.

An amazing D0, since there's nothing particulary unbelievable about the
definition. I nearly voted for it. Congrats!
