Subject: [Dixonary] 3086 POLTOPHAGY vote



Hi, all!

Today, we have fourteen definitions for POLTOPHAGY, which only required three minor edits for consistency in formatting and were then sorted in alphabetical order. I have not combined any. Any errors remaining are surely artifacts of my intervention.

One of these definitions was verified by a dictionary source. The remainder were clever deceptions dreamed up by your fellow players. Please vote for two by public reply to this message.

1. The ability to see dead people as living entities not ghosts.
2. An animal (or animals, collectively) killed by a vehicle on a road.
3. Feeding on a limited number of foods.
4. A forming method that uses ropelike coils of plastic clay, assembled in successive courses to build up a wall of a vessel or sculpture.
5. The habit of domestic fowl to gang up on one individual and literally peck her to death.
6. The habit or practice of eating chicken as the major component of one's diet.
7. Hiding behind a facade of unpleasantness.
8. The intracytoplasmic digestion of secretory granules by lysosomes.
9. Parasitism among microorganisms.
10. The practice of eating cephalopods such as octopus, squid, and cuttlefish.
11. The practice, used by some Native American tribes, of chewing animal hides to soften them.
12. The slow deterioration of rock caused by lichen.
13. Thorough chewing of food until it becomes like porridge
14. [Obs.] Vegetarianism.

As a lark, I cleared my SPAM folder after posting the word, and my only new messages have been someone contacting me about a Zantac settlement, a notice that my McAfee has expired (and the last time I used it was back in 1997), and a demand that I unsubscribe from someone's mailing list, so I'm relatively certain none of them came from anyone on this forum (aside from the bots). If I still somehow missed your definition, please let me know.

Those new to the game may vote, as may veteran players and those who did not submit a definition. But do please vote before looking the word up.

Deadline for voting shall be 22:00 UTC on Wednesday, the 8th of July, 2020, which allows about 48 hours leeway. You can verify against your local time here: <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=POLTOPHAGY+votes+due&iso=202007 08T220000&p1=1440> https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclo...220000&p1=1440


I've taken to just editing the link directly, as that is quicker, easier, and it makes me double-check to ensure the times and dates are consistent. If by some fluke, they're still not, please default to the deadline as in the link, as that's what I'll be referring to.

Cheers,
Rx.
