[Dixonary] Round 2844 - CURCULIO - Call for votes

Here is a varied collection of imaginative definitions of CURCULIO, one of which, amazingly, does
come from a dictionary. Please vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum message (in reply to this
one), before the deadline, which is slightly longer than I would have aimed for due to the times of
church services on Sunday. It is 12 noon on Sunday 22nd BST (1100 UTC). After my previous disaster I
won't even attempt to convert that!

New players are welcome, even if you didn't enter a definition this round. Don't look in a
dictionary. Full rules, if you're curious, can be seen at www.dixonary.net.

1: a confused heap.

2: a small tile used in a mosaic.
