Default [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.
