Default [Dixonary] Rnd 3157 :STOTTING - Call for Votes

Dear people

here areÂ* 15 definitions mostly contributed by the fertile minds of the
players, but one came from a dictionary. Please vote for your choice of
two of them awarded in a search for truth or to reward invention - or
randomly if you wish. Please declare a DQ to me (not the list address)
if you now know the dictionary def. The rules for the game are on
https://www.dixonary.net/ and any member of the group may vote even if
you did not submit a def

I'll call a halt when either every submitter has voted or 10:00 am BST
Monday
