Hi all

We have 14 definitions for our word(s) POLAND CHINA. Please vote for two,


1. A kind of bluish porcelain.

2. [Cockney rhyming slang] Best friend (Poland chest = best, China
plate = mate).

3. A medieval mortar mix made from equal parts of sand, clay and
gypsum.

4. (slang) Makeshift utensils for Shabbat and Passover, alluding to an
improvised approach to ritual celebrations necessary due to the loss of
possessions and community experienced by Polish Jews during the Holocaust

5. The Pacific pole of inaccessibility (also called Point Nemo), the
point in the ocean farthest from any land, antipodal from Poland.

6. One of an American breed of black hogs having white markings.

7. A trophy for a race or other athletic competition.

8. A small tropical freshwater anemone that is typically brightly
colored.

9. Highly polished fine white or translucent vitrified ceramic
material.

10. A glossy wood finish obtained by rubbing a varnished surface with
amber.

11. A white, caustic, lumpy powder, KOH, used as a refractory, as a flux
in glass making.

12. [sl.] A sham or fraud, esp. imported goods marked misleadingly.

13. A shrub related to sarsaparilla whose thick fleshy roots are still
employed in the USA as an alternative medicine [Smilax pseudo-China].

14. A term used in the antiques trade to indicate items of doubtful
provenance.

2 and 11, please.

We'll be away among the mountains for the next two weeks, so I may not be much in evidence here. No
deals, please!

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

While 2 sounds completely believable, I strongly doubt any dictionary would
format its definitions that way.

So 5 & 9 will do.
