[Dixonary] Round 3174 results!

Dave is our next winner, with 4 natural points for his Peruvian culture,
with Dan on the same points, albeit unnatural, with his cooper's hoop.

The discussion after the last round about word sources was timely, as this
is the first time I’ve dealt a word that I haven’t been able to find in a
dictionary. A colatec, for those who haven’t googled it, is an seniors’
daytime disco in Korea. The rules refer to references in ‘magazine articles
discussing recent coinages’ being acceptable and there are numerous
mentions of colatec online, along with its etymology (such as here
<https://www.reuters.com/article/us-southkorea-ageing-discos-idUSKBN1HN01L>
and YouTube video here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQBKpOSEfuo>).
Anyway, I wondered what other players think about dealing such a word.

Welcome back Keith - great to hear from you!
