9 and 10, though I don't believe any of them. One of them made me chuckle.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3016 - vote for ZORILLA
I first read #3 as "interrupted by moments of silliness". Which seems more
appropriate to the word. And who doesn't need a large, decorative comb? #5 gets my second vote.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3016 - vote for ZORILLA
None of them seem credible, except for mine, and I even have doubts about it.
Of the implausible ones, 8 and 13, because why not? They're probably the longest and the shortest, though I didn't check.
