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. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, you can participate via a web version of the site)

@Fuzz is now co-piloting this with me, and he's delivered a great word and some superb decoy definitions this week - Thanks Fuzz! 

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...

Well I can take comfort in getting the last one right. This one not so much ?

Yet another failed guess..... at least I'm improving my vocabulary!

I'm sure with 3 more picks I would have had it....I think ?

No.1 it was! Even took me ages to guess this one, and I'm running this thing! Lol. Thought it was between and 1 and 2. And deciding that I should probably have heard of 2 if it existed, went for 1. I obviously was not on my Pat Malone in thinking it might have been 2, as it turned out to be by far the most selected option. Tough decoys!! Kudos to @Fuzz again for the word and decoys. :thumbsup:

To the random draw sampler winner, that goes to @Dozerhead !!

Congrats!! :party:

Please PM your details (name, address, and email) to me @MoeFOH and we'll arrange dispatch of your prize.

Thanks to all who participated. Next poll up soon! :spotlight:
