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...

I’m always in for a. No idea if it’s correct. Has anyone else noticed there seems to be a drastic change in FOH’s intelligence level since it mattered what you select for the answer or is it just me ? 
I'm sure someone has the stats ....

Went with the one I thought it wasn’t just because my normal game plan doesn’t seem to work ?

I just voted for the only one that didn't seem utterly preposterous. ?

Another word competition - another complete guess from my side !!?

voted for option 1 as it sounded best to me - but pure guessing on my part.

I followed this strategy ?

Finally a lucky guess!

Having some ridiculous options did make it easier to narrow down this week though.

i think this might be the 3rd one i have guessed correctly!

My powers of deduction appear to be outstanding! Glad I went with my gut on this one - I swear eventually this will pay off for me. ?

No.1 it was! Probably the easiest one thus far. Well done to those who got it right! :clap:

The random draw winner was @Goodfortune !!

Congrats!! :party:

Thanks to all participants. Next word up tomorrow! :thumbsup:
