Default [Dixonary] Round 2801: Targe results

Hi all,

I felt compelled to post targe because we all need a word for a "formidably
aggressive older woman," don't we? I'm calling myself Targe from now on!
(My husband found it -- hmmm...) It's Scottish slang, a secondary
definition of a word that several of you knew as a "small shield." That
wasn't counted as a DQ.

The dictionary scored five, tied with the winnah, Shani Naylor (five
natural for the brined cheese) and the real winnah, Tim Lodge (five
unnatural for the spliced eye).

Here are the results. Take it away, Shani!

3. _Norwegian_ a shopping mall.

5. (also tarj) a Bedouin lamb or goat dish seasoned with cumin.
