[Dixonary] Round 2991 GARTIE Results
We have a tie for first place between Debbie Embler (the shoe agreement)
and Efrem Mallach (the garter flash) who both got 5 votes. Efrem is ahead in the rolling scores, so he takes the deal for round 2992, while Debbie can relax as the real winner. Three people guessed correctly that a GARTIE is an old word for a ransom for felony - I left out the '?' which the OED gives it. Take it away, Efrem! -- Tim L *** GARTIE *** 1. a bannock.
