WINNER ANNOUNCED!! Word of the Week Comp #22

[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...

@MoeFOH make sure all correct answers are not option A.

[La_Tigre]

And the streak extends to 3!!!!....,wrong. 

[Deeg]

Ding, ding, ding.  Finally got one.

[BoliDan]

I'm more interested in trying to break this word up in its proper syllables without looking it up instead of the definition. 

Aaaaaand I failed at both.

[canadianbeaver]

First time guessing right.
“What do we have for the Beaver, Johnny? “

”An Amana Radar Range behind door number 2!”

This time I pulled a George Costanza....I went with the exact opposite of my first instincts. It worked. I may have to consider doing this more often.

[david9985]

After several fails, I took my time and used the same technique as Islandboy!

[mtd057]

100% guess!

[zappaFREAK]

Won't help my win percentage I am at 0% so far.....

[GVan]

I have no clue but, will always go for a guess with the word "scotch" buried in it .....

[garbandz]

If you think about it,it could be #3 as well,for the same reason..........

[captaincaveman]

Jesus.  If only I was making a living off of incorrect answers 

[Rabbi]

I voted, but I’m not going to google. Maybe learning patience here will help me keep my hands off of my cigars for the required time. ??

[BuzzArd]

No idea on this one....  

[David88]

No idea so a total guess. Good word though! 

[LLC]

Normally after guessing I look it up only to find out I’m wrong again. This time I’ll save myself the trouble and just assume I’m wrong ?

[Onelove]

Ive done the first three things on the list and never been called this, so I voted for the fourth. 

[superman0234]

No idea if my guess was correct, but at least a lot of others will be wrong with me if it wasn't ?

[MoeFOH]

Closing this off soon - if you haven't already, submit your answer/guess now! 

[MoeFOH]

No.4 it was! Well done to those who got it right! 

The random draw sampler goes to @Viva Vegas !!
