WINNER ANNOUNCED!! Word of the Week Comp #41

[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...

I’ll go with “stab in the dark” for $200, Alex

[ShortFatHokie]

I actually know this one!  I think...

A wild guess but I think maybe a good one. No idea and not going to bother trying to find out, my days going well so far... no reason to ruin it ?

Sitting in his chair on the deck, Rob decided to scurryfunge as Ken waffled on about Springsteen again, leaving Fuzz to listen politely. However, with his scurryfunge gait, it was difficult to traverse Ken's living room. The scattering of wine cartons, boxes of books, and mélange of knickknacks, made any hasty movement a hazardous endeavour. One would think that Ken would scurryfunge if guests were coming over.   Ken took great umbrage as Rob's attempted escape had caused him to fall into a great pile of books; books that Ken had precariously stacked only a few hours before. Fuzz considered that it would be best to scurryfunge on the deck, waiting for the shitstorm to pass.
