WINNER ANNOUNCED!! Word of the Week Comp #18

[MoeFOH]

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!!   (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!  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...

The last three words helped me a little .Still like all of these...guessing.

[Chibearsv]

I picked a ridiculous answer since I had absolutely no idea on this one.  Whoever's coming up with these definitions does a great job.

[wineguy]

I am 0 for......

 

[Habana Mike]

Swing and a miss! Broke my two run streak.....

[The Squiggler]

Had no clue on this one.  Chose the definition that looked least likely to be fabricated.  

[Wookie]

Finally guessed one right. Phonetically. 

[Deeg]

Total stab in the dark (and whiff).

[Fuzz AI]

I think I will take myself out of any future prizes. Considering that last year I was looking up a whole bunch of weird words, I kinda have an unfair advantage.

 

[Habana Mike]

Yes though you've always been one to look up weird stuff. Fuzz being Fuzz ?

Good one Mike! We now have a replacement phrase for "Cuba Being Cuba"!

[Taco]

Wisdom of the crowd guess. I felt like I was using a lifeline.

[dominattorney]

Who even thinks up these words? Hats off to them. 

[BuzzArd]

 A favorite of my late grandfather’s....
