[Dixonary] Rnd 2869 ZABERNISM - Def up - Vote
 
On this Superbowl night (night to me) here are 11 definitions - sorted
more-or-less by length - to distract you from the half-time show - or
the game, whichever is the most boring; or maybe during a add break -
whatever ..

It is only 11 defs but to make up for that here are a fair number of
words. Find some time to vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum or
group message (in reply to this one), before the deadline..

10:00 pm on Tuesday, 06 Feb 2018 in the UK
5:00 pm onÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* East Coast USA
2:00 pm onÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* West Coast USA
8:00 am onÂ* 7 Feb in parts of Oz

New Players are welcome, even if you didn't submit a definition you may
vote.

*JohnnyB*

1. a witch hunt

Â*2. artistic preference of the everyday to the legendary

Â*3. The misuse of military power or authority; bullying, aggression

Â*4. a genetic defect in which the nasal passages do not develop properly

Â*5. the belief that all life on Earth stems from extraterrestrial origins

Â*6. a "retro-Rococo" style of architecture which enjoyed a brief
resurgence in Austria and Germany in the1950's

Â*7. the practice of spending excessively on advertising that doesn't
mention the product being sold, esp. in the Super Bowl

Â*8. a belief that digestion is improved by the eating of prunes with
every meal (after _Dr. Francis Zaber_ of Battle Creek, Michigan)

Â*9. the practice of choosing names for products or companies, such as
Aardvark or Zum, that will stand out at the beginning or end of a list
of search results

10. an apocalyptic doctrine that predicted the end of the world on June
13, 1881 and again seven years later; named for its main proponent,
Cyril Zabern (1826- 1890), an American from St. Louis, Missouri

11. a short-lived avant-garde art movement named after Swiss painter
Johannes Zabern (1875-1927). Derived from futurism and cubism, it
reached its climax at an exhibition in Paris in 1913 and dwindled in
influence after World War I

Ad break?Â* That’s why I’m watching!Â*Â* Voting during a moment that the Pats actually got called on a penalty.



I’ll go with the prunes and with A-AAA Towing.



8 and 9.

1. a witch hunt (seems appropriate these days!)

3. The misuse of military power or authority; bullying, aggression (...as does this, perhaps without the word "military")

(Comments not to be construed as being politically motivated. )

I vote for 5 and 7. The latter was too compelling to pass up.

After perusing the list, I'm comfortable enough with the ones no one else
chose to roll with them.

6 & 11

6. a "retro-Rococo" style of architecture which enjoyed a brief resurgence

What a strangely compelling list of definitions...from A to Z...

I'll throw my votes at

4 and 5

although many others are equally unlikely.

So, is it Francis or his cousin Johannes or their grandfather Cyril? I'll
go with 8 & 10.

8. a belief that digestion is improved by the eating of prunes with every
meal (after _Dr. Francis Zaber_ of Battle Creek, Michigan)

10. an apocalyptic doctrine that predicted the end of the world on June 13,
1881 and again seven years later; named for its main proponent, Cyril

I'm going to ignore anything that mentions a person named Zabern (or Zaber, or whatever). Of the remaining eight, 2 and 6 seem most plausible (albeit not very).
