word GOZLE, which is rather better than I've done on my recent deals.
Vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this
one), before the deadline:

09:00 UTC on Friday 10th December
10:00 CET
4:00 AM EST
1:00 AM PST
19:00 Melbourne time

New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this
round. Don't look in a dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious, are

The big decision: noun or verb?

Oh, well. My guesses are as follows:

<< 3: to coax; cajole.

<< 12: to stare or gape with feigned amazement.

#1 is so obvious and it is first so I reckon on a double bluff so 'll go for
that. The castrated gander leads me wondering if it would still be a called
a gander (amazingly, I know how to do it, leastways, I know how to for young
male chicken) so...

#1 and #8 please

1: to guzzle q.v.

I vote for the popular 3 and 5. I don't believe either of them.

I'll go with the first and the last - 1 and 17.

7 and 8 -- I think of "gosling" which makes "gosle" more likely
though ...
