[Dixonary] Round 3013 WOOFITS Results
Oh, well, you can't win them all! I thought 6 and 15 were sufficiently

The real definition was 6, the unwell feeling, and Paul Keating's version of depression was 15, and that combination was the *vox pop* vote. Paul even voted for his own def to throw you all off the scent, although of course that vote doesn't count towards his already magnificent score of 10*. The real def got 9 votes, and Chris Carson is the real winner with an unnatural 5 points. Over to you, Paul. -- Tim L *** WOOFITS *** 1. nausea.
