Default [Dixonary] Round 2949 results

Hi all

Our winner this round is Tim Lodge, with his "inky-pinky, dinky-doo" rhyme.
Tim told me this definition should save him from the deal. No such luck Tim
- you scored a natural 5. The real winner is Tim Bourne, with 4 natural
points, whom I'd like to thank as I've had the words "inky-pinky
parlez-vous" swirling around in my head all weekend. Funny that a WWI song
can be so familiar - it must be in a lot of movies & TV shows.

Take it away Tim!
