I'll take these highly unlikely definitions:


2. The nickname given to the house flag of the Cunard Line, adopted in 1878, which shows a lion rampant or on a field gules holding a globe.
11. Derisive name for a popular high headdress worn during the turn of the late 17th and early 18th centuries in Europe, which was supported by a wire framework called a commode.

[Dixonary] Round 3090: BUTTOCK-BALL vote!
 

I'll have one cricket and one football def: 1 and 4.

1. in cricket, when a fielder catches the ball before boundary line and
reckons that he is going to cross the boundary, then he can throw it away
into the field which can either be caught by any of the other fielders or
he himself by entering into the field. In this case the batsman is deemed
to be out.

4. (obs.) Association football slang expression meaning to foul up, to do
the opposite of what is appropriate.
