Hi Mike,

I don't believe any of these. I don't even believe peesker is a real
world. I think you just dropped the scrabble bag and decided to just run
with it. ;)

Clueless and idealess, I'll waste my votes on definitions 6 (the
fountain) and 9 (the porter).

Cheers,
Hugo

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3082 - time to vote for PEESKER
 
I narrowed it down to eight. Then I narrowed it down to four. Having thus probably eliminated the real definition, I'll vote for 2 and 9.

I’m going with 3 and 10.
