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...

Wow, I think I scored on this one but not for the reason I thought of.

The young kayaker back paddled slightly as he came upon the lawrence, to take in the magnificent view. What a lawrence he thought, ignoring his guide's advise and choosing to go down this part of the river. These rapids will surely be an experience of a lifetime.

Kind of like the time he decided to install a lawrence to view the lawrence rising up from the vast vista that stretched behind his home. He could never understand why his girlfriend didn't appreciate the spectacular view...
