View Full Version : KLONG definitions!


Dave Cunningham
March 24th, 2010, 08:05 AM
I checked and rechecked my inbox - ended up with a near record low number of entries :(. Which means, you have a really good chance this time at guessing the real def!


1. (in Thailand) a canal; an opening or strait between two sandbanks.

2. long pole on wheels for transporting logs.

3, a fish-trap.

4. the spike on the Japanese ball and cup game "Kendama"

5. A rock outcropping on a ski trail.

6. A girl or woman regarded as dull, plain, or unfashionable.

7. a habitually indecisive person.

8. a leather mallet for striking a gong or bell to produce a muted sound.

9. [S. Afr.] a prison or stockade; a securely fenced area.

10. [Lao] an enclosed group of family huts.

11. A preparation from the leaves and seed capsules of the cannabis plant, smoked, chewed, eaten, or infused and drunk to obtain mild euphoria.


Please vote for 2 hereof before 9 p.m. EDT on Thursday 25 March. All errors, as always, are the fault of the dealer.

I've narrowed it down to three (probably all wrong!) and will vote for these two:

<< 9. [S. Afr.] a prison or stockade; a securely fenced area.

<< 10. [Lao] an enclosed group of family huts.

OMG. Nearly half the group's missing! If they're mainly US: They're
busy filling out their census forms? Or their income tax returns?

In any event: Every one of these defs seems as (un)likely as the next;
same old crapshoot, just a little smaller! I'll try:

> 1. (in Thailand) a canal; an opening or strait between two
> sandbanks.
>

and

> 10. [Lao] an enclosed group of family huts.

OMG. That's three--so far. I wonder how many others vanished into BellSouth's inaccessible spam folder (that's bizarre right there).

Dave, a suggestion: Change ISPs. Fast.

Mine's gone, too... I did notice that my vote in the previous round went to MY spam folder, though the dealer did get it.

Anyway, I'll vote for 3 and 7... odd ones.

Lots of likely suspects. I'll take 8 in memory of the immortal "El Kabong"
and round it out with 5 although that would be more of a 'kraaatch' than a
'klong'.
