On this Superbowl night (night to me) here are 11 definitions - sorted
more-or-less by length - to distract you from the half-time show - or the game, whichever is the most boring; or maybe during a add break - whatever .. It is only 11 defs but to make up for that here are a fair number of words. Find some time to vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum or group message (in reply to this one), before the deadline.. 10:00 pm on Tuesday, 06 Feb 2018 in the UK 5:00 pm onÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* East Coast USA 2:00 pm onÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* West Coast USA 8:00 am onÂ* 7 Feb in parts of Oz New Players are welcome, even if you didn't submit a definition you may vote. *JohnnyB* 1. a witch hunt Â*2. artistic preference of the everyday to the legendary Â*3. The misuse of military power or authority; bullying, aggression Â*4. a genetic defect in which the nasal passages do not develop properly Â*5. the belief that all life on Earth stems from extraterrestrial origins Â*6. a "retro-Rococo" style of architecture which enjoyed a brief resurgence in Austria and Germany in the1950's Â*7. the practice of spending excessively on advertising that doesn't mention the product being sold, esp. in the Super Bowl Â*8. a belief that digestion is improved by the eating of prunes with every meal (after _Dr. Francis Zaber_ of Battle Creek, Michigan) Â*9. the practice of choosing names for products or companies, such as Aardvark or Zum, that will stand out at the beginning or end of a list of search results 10. an apocalyptic doctrine that predicted the end of the world on June 13, 1881 and again seven years later; named for its main proponent, Cyril Zabern (1826- 1890), an American from St. Louis, Missouri 11. a short-lived avant-garde art movement named after Swiss painter Johannes Zabern (1875-1927).

1. a witch hunt (seems appropriate these days!)
3. The misuse of military power or authority; bullying, aggression (...as does this, perhaps without the word "military") (Comments not to be construed as being politically motivated. ) Judy Madnick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.

Re: [Dixonary] Rnd 2869 ZABERNISM - Def up - Vote
I vote for 5 and 7. The latter was too compelling to pass up.

What a strangely compelling list of definitions...from A to Z...
I'll throw my votes at 4 and 5 although many others are equally unlikely. Nancy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.

Re: [Dixonary] Rnd 2869 ZABERNISM - Def up - Vote
So, is it Francis or his cousin Johannes or their grandfather Cyril? I'll
go with 8 & 10. 8. a belief that digestion is improved by the eating of prunes with every meal (after _Dr. Francis Zaber_ of Battle Creek, Michigan) 10. an apocalyptic doctrine that predicted the end of the world on June 13, 1881 and again seven years later; named for its main proponent, Cyril Zabern (1826- 1890), an American from St. Louis, Missouri On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 12:02 PM, Johnb - co.uk <johnb (AT) john-barrs (DOT) co.uk> wrote: > On this Superbowl night (night to me) here are 11 definitions - sorted > more-or-less by length - to distract you from the half-time show - or the > game, whichever is the most boring; or maybe during a add break - whatever > .. > > It is only 11 defs but to make up for that here are a fair number of > words.

Re: [Dixonary] Rnd 2869 ZABERNISM - Def up - Vote
I'm going to ignore anything that mentions a person named Zabern (or Zaber, or whatever). Of the remaining eight, 2 and 6 seem most plausible (albeit not very).
