[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! Nancy 1. A type of brined cheese from the Balkans, made of sheep or goat's milk. Shani Naylor Votes: Madnick, Stevens, Shefler, Mallach, Carson 0 + 5 = 5 2. To plaster over; to cover with ornamental plasterwork Judy Madnick Votes: Lodge, Hale 0 + 2 = 2 3. _Norwegian_ a shopping mall. Dave Cunningham 0 + 0 = 0 4. a biome in the northern Urals characterized by a dry sub-arctic climate. Mike Shefler Votes: Bourne, Mallach 0 + 2 = 2 5. (also tarj) a Bedouin lamb or goat dish seasoned with cumin. Efrem Mallach Votes: Cunningham, Shefler 0 + 2 = 2 6. the habit of relying on intuition rather than facts, even when facts are available. Guerri Stevens Votes: Barrs, Widdis 2* + 2 = 4 7. A sheer fabric woven of silk or cotton and wool. Chris Carson 2* = 0 = 2 8. A formidably aggressive older woman Oxforddictionaries.com Votes: Lodge, Stevens, Barrs, Widdis, Carson D5 9. a straw target used for training long-bow archers Johnny Barrs Votes: Hale 2* + 1 = 3 10. A repositionable crosshair device for a bow, or crossbow. Keith Hale 0 + 0 = 0 11. [Naut.] a spliced eye or loop in a mooring warp, designed to be slipped over a bollard. Tim Lodge Votes: Bourne, Madnick, Cunningham 2* + 3 = 5 No def: Dan Widdis 2* + 0 = 2 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.
