[Dixonary] 2193- vote for Baggywrinkle

[Jim Hart]

I was afraid this would be a very slim deal but you came good in the
end with 17 definitions of BAGGYWRINKLE to add to the one I took from
a dictionary.

Be nice, vote twice. You have 34 hours to reply to this message, i.e.
by: 9 am Saturday UTC which for North Americans is I think 2am on left
coast and 5am on the right coast, and 8pm for me.


1. small bundle of hay or straw for resting one's head.

2. a lobster-pot

3. Slang term for medical cannabis that is of low quality.

4. _sl_ a loose fitting gown (Singapore)

5. _British Slang_ A linen suit.

6. Pruney fingers.

7. a disparaging term for the lowland bagpipes, or one who plays
them.

8. a flexible coupling between pipes in a steam-driven threshing
machine.

9. the intestines of sheep, pigs, or cattle, used as sausage skin.

10. a fern of New Zealand whose large, broad leaves are
characterized by deep folds forming a wrinkled appearance

11. rope yarns wound around parts of a ship's rigging to prevent
chafe.

12. (Knitting Mach.) a thin iron plate operated by the jack to
depress the loop of thread between two needles.

13. common name for a sub-genus of slipper orchids with rumpled
pouches [phragmipedium rugosa]

14. an extremely old person.

15. _Colloq_ the periwinkle.

16. a small weed of the burdock family..

17. an old turkey.

18. the fruit of an acacia tree

[Judy Madnick]

As I said when I sent my definition -- this is a tough one. So there's no point in my delaying my votes since they are a "major guess" anyhow:

<< 3. Slang term for medical cannabis that is of low quality.

<< 16. a small weed of the burdock family..

[—Keith Hale—]

Yikes. I haven't a clue. Very odd word (but that's the fun!)... i'll take
5 & 7.

5. _British Slang_ A linen suit.
> 7. a disparaging term for the lowland bagpipes, or one who plays them.

[Daniel B. Widdis]

Lots of creative choices!

I'll go with the disparaging term for old lowland scots: 7 and 14.

[MICHAEL HARRINGTON]

This is like buying a pig in a poke. I am going to bite on:

10. a fern of New Zealand whose large, broad leaves are
characterized by deep folds forming a wrinkled appearance. (Kiwis and
Aussies are close, geographically, for whatever that may be worth.)

AND

7. a disparaging term for the lowland bagpipes, or one who plays
them. (Simply because if it is not the real def, it deserves recognition for
imagination).

[Dodi Schultz]

They're all, um, interesting. The first is just odd enough to qualify,
and of the half-dozen possible plants, the last looks likely. That'll be

and

[Matthew]

My votes go to:

5. *_British Slang_ A linen suit.

and

15. *_Colloq_ *the periwinkle.

--Matthew Grieco

[Tim B]

4 and 10, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

[John Barrs]

Um, plants and colloquial slang, its got to be the latter: so I'll go for
#11 and #12 please because they do not lead me to think of bags or wrinkles

11 and 12 have no logic at all.

characterized by deep folds forming a wrinkled appearance

[Tony Abell]

Well, I don't see my definition here. I sent it yesterday (Thursday), 31-Mar-2011 at
08:31am EDT (1231 UTC), which was well within the deadline.

Probably just as well, really; I doubt anyone would have voted for it.
