Some slight tweaks to the comp for 2020... 

Every week we're going to have a poll about the definition of a forgotten or obscure word. From the four options pick the definition you believe to be the correct one. Voters who pick the correct definition go into the draw for an El Pres Sampler!!  :party: (Drawn Tuesday morning, Brisbane time. Please note: Polls don't show on Tapatalk, but you can participate via a web version of the site)

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...

I will never forget the first time I tried kicking with my arsefoot... The ball hooked wildly and clipped an arsefoot that was nesting nearby.  Then, instead of rushing to the poor fella's aid, I just callously yelled "little help?"... later I felt like such an arsefoot.

I have two arsefoots, neither of them can kick a ball

Wow, my first correct answer. What a way to start the year!  It's probably all downhill from here. ?

the squigggate broke and I've been uncontrollably squigging ever since... tough to get the squiggpaste back in the squiggtube (unless you fill your mouth with it and blow it in, but after that you can't in good conscience share)

All good man. Interpreting, you can't get the toothpaste back in the tube once you've squiggled it out!

Fuzz has not been involved in helping with Word of the Week this year. So, at this point, he's an eligible entrant like everyone else. Including you, Ken. 

And, seriously, you want to win a comp on your own blog? :huh:

Quite true. Last year most were my words. This year I have yet to send Steve any words. Once I do, I will be completely ineligible as before.

Just seeing where Steve is going with the new format, before I jump in to assist.
