RE: [Dixonary] Round 2936 - FLOB Defs Up
 

There are too many good possibilities, so it's a difficult decision. Well, I'll go with these:

4. Any of several reddish-brown water insoluble pigments derived from tannin
in barks.

5. The collection of water, oil, antifreeze and other toxic substances that
collect in the lowest internal part of a ship's hull.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 2936 - FLOB Defs Up
 

Hmm...is there some reason the first two players to vote appear to have sent
their votes directly to me instead of to the Googlegroups list? Has anyone
else seen Mike's and John's votes?

Re: [Dixonary] Round 2936 - FLOB Defs Up
 

Great set of defs! Well done, everyone! I guess short words leave a lot of
room for creativity.

Like JohnnyB I'm very taken by #6, but unlike him I'll actually vote for it.

I like #5 and #12 for my second vote.

Oh, I have to pick one? Dang. I guess I'll go with 5.
