Word of the Week Comp #23

[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...

Finally got one correct.  Doesn't Viagra help some to spike-bozzle or is spike-bozzling the reason some need Viagra...I forget.

@MoeFOH can you make a thread that links to all the previous WOTW threads?

 

Also... possible to edit the 1st post to include the true definition? It's hard to go through all the posts to find the answer! You could also consider reserving post #2 for this purpose from now on...

 

Thanks!

I think I guessed wrong on this one. Lol

[lovethehaze]

A again. Eventually it will be a winner. Playing the long game 

[SirVantes]

I thought for sure it meant an altercation at a Knicks game.

Wow, I think I got one correct. I apologize in advance if this causes anyone any mental anguish and promise not to get one correct in the future.

Your posting privileges will be suspended until you get 5 wrong in a row.

That will only take 5 weeks, given my track record. Oh, wait was I allowed to post this? Crap, that means another 5 weeks, doesn't it? Should have quit while I was ahead.

Seems so far an easier one. High percentage....even me!

I agree, this one was relatively logical.  I think @MoeFOH was throwing a bone to those of us that really have no knowledge but still try to figure it out.  Then again he's probably just making us comfortable that logic will start working.  I fully expect to get the next 6-10 wrong to normalize my success rate.

[canadianbeaver]

Wrong again. Hey but tried. Lolol.

[MoeFOH]

Closing this off soon - vote now! 

[MoeFOH]

A landslide for the correct answer! #4 it was. Well done to all who got it right. I'll have to make the next one trickier. 

The random draw winner was @tigger !!

Congrats!! 

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

Thanks to all who entered. Next word will be up soon - stay tuned!

@tigger will be bouncing on his tail when he finds out he has won.

A very nice sampler arrived today. Thanks @El Presidente,  and Co. I will enjoy every one!
