Every week we're going to have a poll about the definition of a forgotten or obscure word. Pick the definition you believe to be the correct one. All voters (correct or not) go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!!  :party: (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time)

NO GOOGLING OR DICTIONARY USE! We're using the honour system. It's just a bit of fun. If you know, you know. If you don't, have a stab in the dark or an educated guess (if you prefer that term). ;)

You may elaborate about your choice in the topic thread below if you wish but no posting of any official definitions, etc., that will give away the game for others. 

Now you know the drill, vote away! :thumbsup: Good luck and may this comp prove to be a fun palaestra that turns us all into better word-grubbers, if you know what I mean...

So far I'm doing as well with these as I am the blind tasting comps.  Kudos to you for your fictitious definitions.

Steve, you need a better "Word of the Day" calendar.

Why so? Tell me more, Fuzz. (And I'm actually using a book I picked up from... somewhere)

Smoot? Stirrup-Cup? You can do better!

What about agastopia? Impignorate? Discombobulate? Oxter? Pauciloquent? Or even tittynope?! :P

Bombed out last time, but got lucky on my guess this time around.

I looked it up after voting and the real answer would have been my fourth choice. I'm awful at this.

Most of those intrigue me. Especially tittynope! I think I might know that one from experience... ;) But Discombobulate is surely too well known. 

I will, however, endeavour to raise my game, Fuzz. Perhaps you can PM me some more suggestions, help me form a word humidor of sorts... a linguistic wunderkammer, if you will?

As intriguing as tittynope may have been as a word of the week, consider it useless. We’ve all googled it by now, and the disappointment has set in.

Pretty familiar with that one. More or less characterizes my life during high school...

You are missing the punctuation, "?" and "!", respectively. Shortly followed by a slap, to punctuate said punctuation.

Word #2 Poll done and, as I'm sure we all now know, the real definition of Stirrup-cup is 4. One last drink before departure, a parting glass. which got 19.47% of the poll. Well done to those who knew or guessed right! :clap:Most people plumped for 6. The leg or foot rests on early gynaecological apparatus at over 30% of the poll. :cigar:Hmmm...

Anyhow, to the random draw sampler winner, that goes to @nKostyan !!

Congrats!! :party:
