Default [Dixonary] Round 2991 GARTIE Defs - Vote Now!

I wasn't able to post a reminder, and that - combined with the fact that
it's a weekend - means that we have only 10 defs of the word GARTIE for
your delectation and delight. Please vote for your two favourites before
the deadline of:

10:00 BST on Tuesday 18th June which is:
09:00 GMT/UTC
11:00 CET
5:00 AM EDT
2:00 AM PDT
21:00 NZST

New players are welcome - just don't look up the word until after you've
voted.
