WINNER ANNOUNCED!! FOH's Word of the Week Poll #13

[MoeFOH]

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!!   (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!  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...

Rebarbative: of rebarb (deriving from the Latin "rebarbus", a steel-hard, red plant--resembling celery in structure--used in pies and the pouring of concrete)

I had a friend that used to tell me he was so strong he could bend rebarb, no lie. He repeated it many times to others, used to crack me up every time I heard it

? rebarbative tall tales

When meeting a rebarbative young lady in Havana, she may become rebarbative if you are somewhat rebarbative, as you will appear rebarbative. For there is nothing rebarbative about having a good time between consenting adults.

I changed my strategy this time and picked the definition I thought was least likely. Well that didn’t work either ? 

[Islandboy]

The more I partake in this game, the more rebarbative I become.

Finally a correct guess!

[Wookie]

Missed it

[dominattorney]

Ha. I know this one. I actually used it in court not too long ago.

Both of which a broken watch finds twice a day, of course.
