Default Re: [Dixonary] Round 3193 Defs - Vote Now!

I'll try 9 & 11

9. a detachable pleated collar in linen and/or lace starched into shape
and sometimes supported underneath.

11. a small triangular board supported by two casters and a vertical
pencil that, when lightly touched by the fingertips, is said to spell out
subconscious or supernatural messages.
