[Dixonary] Dixonary Ancient History
And to reply to myself...
I see that I first dealt in round 370 so I probably started somewhere in the 4th century AD (after Dixon). Don't know what year that was but it was not long after I discovered the wonders of Compuserve and this newfangled Internet thing. Someone (now forgotten) put me onto Tapcis as a way to minimise compuserve's per-minute fees and to maximise efficiency of my 14.4K modem. I haven't seen the verb "to benner" for quite a while. Dixoning obviously lives on, and I vaguely recall the first time a crown was awarded for it... possibly by Karen Vanderpool? Perhaps our archivist knows since he knows everything else about the game. On nomenclature I have thought there should be a term for a definition that wins simply by being so outrageously fake. And on a semi-related theme Fernando Gelbard's definitions come to mind for consistent political incorrectness though I think they rarely scored well. Jim |
