[Daniel B. Widdis]

Thanks to a flurry of definitions arriving overnight, we now have a
total of 16 definitions for ZOUTCH. Please vote for two, by public
reply to this message.

Simply because I can, I'm setting the deadline at 2:00AM EDT/1:00AM
EST on Sunday, November 01, 2009. East-coasters, vote before you turn
your clocks back an hour! I'll be collecting the votes here in Vegas
at 11:00PM PDT Saturday night. That's 0600 UTC for those wiser souls
across the pond who have already adjusted your clocks.

9. 1. an underground passage or cellar, esp. in a

Hi Daniel,

Are you sure you added the real def? Are you actually even sure it's a real
word? For I am not!

Anyway, I'll toss my votes at these two creative definitions"

I really did read them all, but I'm going to go--probably

> 1. moat [OE]

and

> 4. a small leather container for stones
