WINNER ANNOUNCED!! Word of the Week Comp #31

[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...

Feh, I was so sure too...

I can't find the definition either, hopefully I got this one right! 

 

[Fuzz AI]

It is an archaic word. You'd be hard-pressed to stumble across it.

"The young polly-in-the-cottage was very anxious two days before her big day. For the rozzers had yet to release her fiance, as he had not given up the vital evidence they were seeking. They really had no choice but to keep him, as the polly-in-the-cottage had recently stolen a polly-in-the-cottage from the local pet store. Why he wanted the bird was a mystery known only to him. In truth, the polly-in-the-cottage thought the bird would keep him company, as he puttered around the house during the day while his young bride was out working."

Hmmm cant even seem to find the definition on google. I think i got it correct

It turned up on the first page of my Google search (unfortunately for my guess).

[StogieSteve23]

OOO I think this might be the first one I got correct! 

[RichUK]

Made my usual guess.

[wineguy]

I finally got one. My first.....

 

[Habana Mike]

Should have gone with my initial thought. Nope....

[LLC]

Didn’t even bother trying to look it up after my guess. With my success rate so far I’m better of not confirming the inevitable

I don`t understand any of those but it has to be the last one.

[scap99]

I guessed, incorrectly, it appears, but had to read the other posts to verify because my Googlefu is weak and it didn't turn up any results.

[Chibearsv]

Another swing and a miss and this time the real answer wasn't in my top 2 choices.  Brilliant job on the wrong definitions as usual.

[MigsG]

Haven't joined in a long time and once again got it wrong. LOL!  

[Joeyjojo]

took a guess, and after casting my vote could not find the answer. 

I'm afraid my google powers are fading!  

 

[MoeFOH]

Closing this off soon - vote now! 

[MoeFOH]
