Ignominy is when your score as a dealer exceeds the score of the round
that put you there, with bonus ignominy points for losing one player's
definition.
I was doing fine in the first half of the voting then four of you
(including you know who) decided that emarcid might mean drooping or
limp.
But least Shorter Oxford didn't win the round. That honour goes to Tim
Lodge with 5 points for his weak-willed definition. He was matched by
Chuck Emery's insect, but Chuck doesn't appear on the rolling scores
so he is spared the deal. As is Mike Shefler who got an unnatural 5.
