[Dixonary] Round 2224 - New Word: BOMBIC

[Tony Abell]

I note with chagrin that not only did I get stuck with the deal by playing
a mediocre and too-obvious definition, but I did so by a landslide. I can't
think of the last round when no one scored above 2 other than the hapless
winner (loser). It was a superbly chosen word to have spread the votes so
evenly, the narrowly-missed D0 notwithstanding. Hats off to Millie.


The word for round 2224 shall be:

+
++
+++
++++
+++++ BOMBIC
++++
+++
++
+

or bombic, capitalization being irrelevant. If you know the word, notify me
of your DQ status as soon as possible.

Please send your made-up, fictitious, fallacious or hilarious definitions to me
by email at hello (AT) isanybodyhome (DOT) com before the deadline, below. If you're new
to the game and are interested in playing, do NOT look up or google the word.
Read the rules in the file area in the Dixonary group at groups.google.com or
the sticky messages in tapcis.com's The Parlor section.

The deadline for definition submissions shall be:

Wednesday, 09:00am EDT 20-Jul-2011
Wednesday, 06:00am PDT 20-Jul-2011
Wednesday, 02:00pm BST 20-Jul-2011

a verse meter in which each stressed syllable follows two unstressed syllables.

Best wishes,

Oh dear - crown please! And I quite liked that def.

Best wishes,

I'm sure I learned another word for that in school.

—Dodi

[John Barrs]

Me too... or maybe I should say that I learned two, one from my teachers and
one from my peers - the second was neither complimentary nor complementary
to the first
