[Dixonary] Round 3123 CARTONNAGE time to vote!

Hi all

We have a grand total of 15 defs for your perusal - 14 of them are fakes
and one is the real McCoy. Please vote for two by the deadline.


1. Packaging

2. Recycling unwanted or unused gifts.

3. The hobby of collecting cigarette cards.

4. A heavy quadrilled paper used for postage stamps.

5. The cards used in cartomancy (divination by cards)

6. The map inset that explains symbols and scale of the map.

7. A stiff compact pasteboard, often having a polished surface.

8. A drawing or set of drawings made in preparation for weaving
a tapestry.

9. In literary criticism, the formal analysis of narrative arc
and its inflection points.

10. Neologism coined by environmentalists to criticize excessive
use of packaging for products.

11. A painting style characterized by broad, heavy brush strokes
and using bold, vibrant colors.

12. An ancient Egyptian mummy case made of tightly fitting layers
of linen or papyrus glued together.

13. A caterer's fee for serving bag-in-box wine supplied by the
customer [< *carton* + *-age* suffix, by analogy with *corkage*]

14. A tax first imposed in 1643 by the French monarchy on goods
transported into Paris, abolished after the French Revolution.

15. An additional freight fee charged to the consignor by a
carrier where extra packaging is required before a clean bill of lading can
be issued.


The deadline is around 36 hours from now - I'll post details later (I've
just realised I've made a mistake, but keen to get this out).
