*******************


Capitalization is not significant.

Please concoct a fake definition for this word that you think your
fellow players will find plausible, or
entertaining, or both.

Newcomers to the game are always welcome: your task is to induce the
other players to vote for your fake definition rather than the real
one. You will find the full rules at http://rules.dixonary.net but
they can be summarized thus:
1. Don't look the word up.
2. Make up a fake definition and email it to me.
3. Check back here after the deadline.

The deadline for submissions is on Tuesday 18 January 2011 at

22:00 PST
23:00 MST
23:59 CST

and on Wednesday 19 January 2011 at

01:00 EST
06:00 GMT/UTC
07:00 CET for me
and 17:00 EDT in Melbourne.

You can use the email address coryphaeus (AT) prodigycomputing (DOT) com to
submit definitions. This is not a requirement: other email addresses
you have for me will also work.

Please put "2174" or "EGGCORN" in the subject line. This makes
incoming game messages easier to manage, and makes checking for emails
stuck in spam filters less unpleasant.
