Default [Dixonary] Round 2953 - GRISE Results

The word grise (also spelled grice) has nothing to do with éminence grise, as
several players wondered privately to me, and no one was DQ. That said, no
fewer than seven players correctly guessed that grise is an old provincial
term for a pig. Since the dictionary cannot deal, that task now falls to Tim
Lodge, who scored 5 unnatural points for his old woman. Runner up Efrem
Mallach is the real winner with 4 points.

Take it away, Tim!
