The word for round 2272 is


*************
* *
* O A R T *
* *
*************


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 Wednesday 11 January 2012 at
22:30 PST
23:30 MST
and on Thursday 12 January 2012 at
00:30 CST
01:30 EST
06:30 GMT/UTC
07:30 CET for me
and 17:30 EDT in Melbourne.

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

Please put "2272" or "OART" in the subject line of your email. This
makes incoming game messages easier to manage, and makes checking for
emails stuck in spam filters less unpleasant.
