Default [Dixonary] Round 1617 HAKSPEK - Defs up!

Hi all,

Here they are: a collection of 21 definitions for HAKSPEK. One of them is actually from a dictionary, but the others are SO much better!

Please pick your two favorites and vote, by replying in this thread (on tapcis.com), or replying to this message (if using e-mail). The deadline for voting is about 24 1/2 hours from now: June 13 2005, 10:00 in the Netherlands (also known as June 13 2005, 8:00 GMT/UTC or June 13 2005, 4:00 AM EDT).

Explanation of the rules for newcomers:
1. DO NOT LOOK UP THE WORD!!
2. Read the definitions, pick the two that you find the most believable
3. Cast your votes. Do it BEFORE the deadline (see above).
4. If you already know the word, you can't vote. Do tell me (if you haven't already done so during the defs stage), so your score gets registered as DQ instead of No Vote.
5. If you didn't submit a definition, you can still vote. You won't get points from others voting for your def, but you can still earn two points if you pick the correct definition.

And now, without further ado, on to the list of definitions. Let's make a new dealer!

Best, Hugo
