[Dixonary] Round 2938 WHERRET Results
Judy Madnick takes the next deal with 4 votes for her mountaineering clip
(which I think is actually a jumar). Tony Abell and Shani Naylor got 3 points each, but 2 of Shani's were gained because she guessed the true def, number 7, so Tony is the real winner. Johnny Barrs also guessed correctly that a WHERRET is a slap in the face, leaving me with a D2. Over to you, Judy - I'm off to the dentist to get a wherret! -- Tim *** WHERRET *** 1. the honey badger.
