[Dixonary] Round 2043: SOFETT [Definition List]

[Paul Keating]

Our inventive players have concocted all but one of the 19
definitions for SOFETT presented below for your edification
and entertainment. The remaining definition is, believe it
or not, real.

Please vote for the two you think the best, for some value
(or values) of "good" that seems appropriate to you (such as
plausible, politically correct, embarrassing, witty,
implausible, long, or as chosen by a random number
generator). You can do this whether or not you have not
submitted a definition, and whether or not you have played
before. You're not allowed to vote if you know the right
answer.

Vote by public reply to this message, by the deadline,
which is on 29 September 2009 at

23:00 PDT
23:59 MDT

and on 30 September 2009 at

01:00 CDT
02:00 EDT
06:00 UTC
07:00 BST
and 08:00 CEST for me.

Hm. One verb, one adjective, and 17 nouns. And no clues.

I think I'll take a chance on the verb and one of the nouns:

12. to mend; to make amends

14. a keepsake; a token of affection

--Dodi

[Tim B]

4 and 6, please.

Best wishes,
Tim B.

[France International]

I"ll fall for 9 and 12.

[Judy Madnick]

I don't see my definition, which I sent on 9/27 at 4:30 p.m. <sigh>

<< 15. a rich dessert including yogurt and honey

<< 19. traditional Bulgarian dessert made of soft fetta cheese
<< whipped with cherry jam and topped with flakes of burnt
<< almonds

Judy Madnick

[collect]

9 and 15 without reason at all.

I'll take 2 and 4, as they sound even more unlikely than all the others.

2 and 9 please.

I'll take the springe at 3 because it's as plausible as any, and 10
because it's not but it raised a smile and almost a guffaw.
