Default [Dixonary] Round 3270 SNADE Defs - Vote Now!

The deadline extension only produced two more defs, so here we have 9 defs
of the word SNADE, only one of which comes from my dictionary. Please vote
for your two favourites by public reply to this message before the
deadline, which is:

09:00 UTC/GMT on Sunday 31st July
10:00 BST in London
11:00 CET in France and the Netherlands
5:00 AM EDT in New York
2:00 AM PDT in California
21:00 NZST in New Zealand

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

-- Tim L


*** SNADE ***

1. Clean-shaven.

2. Something nasty.

3. [OE] a pen enclosing a small pond for keeping ducks or geese.

4. (Mediev.) a coarse sand mixed with potash to produce glass windows

5. [Cornish dialect] A piece cut from the tail of a mackerel for use as
bait.

6. In English folk magic and witchcraft, a healer, diviner and breaker of
spells.

7. In curling, a throw that misses the house but knocks an opponent's
stone into it.

8. An ornament, such as a rosette or knot of ribbon, usually worn on the
hat as a badge.

9. A piece of wood split off from timber, esp. such a piece used in
building a fire, a block, a billet.
