Default [Dixonary] Round 2912 MAGDALEON Defs - Vote Now!

My reminder produced a couple more defs, but, more importantly, a message
from Guerri telling me that she'd sent one and her name wasn't on my
list. I found it hiding in my Outlook Junk folder along with one from
another player, so we've ended up with 11 defs - one from my dictionary and
the rest from your fevered imaginations. Please vote for your two
favoutited by public reply to this message before the deadline of:

09:00 UTC on Tuesday 7th August which is:
10:00 BST for me,
11:00 CET
5:00 AM EDT
2:00 AM PST
19:00 AEST in Melbourne
21:00 NZST in New Zealand
