Default [Dixonary] Round 3020 Time to vote for LOCKS-AND-LICE

Hi all

We have 10 fake definitions for our word LOCKS-AND-LICE, along with one
that was found in a dictionary. Please vote for two by the deadline.

1. A schoolboy nickname for a dish of noodles and rice, frequently
served under food rationing in Britain during the Second World War.
2. [Cockney rhyming slang] dice.
3. [Scottish] Parts of the loom: The locks of the loom press the newly
created weft thread against the already woven fabric using a lice and thus
allowing more design possibilities.
4. A brand name for ivermectin, which is an effective alternative for
the treatment of head-lice infestation, hence reference to "locks."
5. Mice (rhyming slang).
6. An image or diagram containing lines, usually horizontal, vertical,
and diagonal, sometimes of varying widths, used to test the accuracy of
reproduction of image copying or transmission equipment.
7. Something very likely to be liked.
8. A kind of cloth.
9. [sl.] Spice (in imitation of UK "rhyming slang").
10. A hula hoop technique for two people.
11. Traditional New Zealand sandwich made with Marmite, smoked fish and
cheese.


The deadline is 7am Wednesday 16 October my time (NZDT) or:



Los Angeles, USA Tues, 15 Oct 2019 at 11am
PDT

New York, USA Tues, 15 Oct 2019 at 2pm
EDT

London, United Kingdom Tues, 15 Oct 2019 at 7pm BST

Amsterdam, Netherlands Tues, 15 Oct 2019 at 8pm CEST



(please check these times and adjust accordingly)

I guess I'd better vote so that I can give two players a point each! One suggestion though: It would be better not to use automatic numbering, because when I delete a definition in my attempt to narrow down my votes, the numbers change.

For lack of a better idea, I'll take 1 and 11.

1, 9 and 11 are out -- nobody would eat something named this!
2 and 5 why not just use "dice" or "mice" to rhyme instead of inventing a
longer word?
4 too obvious
6 must have been written by someone staying up past their bedtime
3 almost got my vote but I just can't square [Scottish] and "locks" instead
of "lochs"!
10 is tempting but I can't envision any movements that would bear that name.

That leaves:

7 I like liking things.

8 A kind of ... definition is always a good fallback when all else fails
and is a twist on the non-loch loom.

Since it looks like rhyming slang, I'll assume it isn't and vote for 8 and 11:
