Default [Dixonary] Round 2825 SYCHT Results

The new dealer is Tony Abell, who got 6 votes for his optical distortion of
the sun or moon near the horizon (that's a phenomenon I remember from my
celestial navigation days). The lucky runner up, and real winner, is Efrem
Mallach with 5 votes for his Amish courtship style-cramping practice.
Johnny Barrs and Dave Cunningham both guessed correctly that SYCHT (plural)
are the front parts of a coat or gown.

Over to you, Tony
