Default [Dixonary] Rd. 2900: Pogonlogy results

Despite holding the voting open for about 12 hours, I only got one
additional vote, so it did not change the results. Four people who
submitted definitions didn't vote.

Anyway, when all it done and dusted, Johnny Barrs is the clear winner of
the deal, despite not knowing or guessing the word. I thought his worms
might attract a lot of interest, being so logical, which earned him 4
natural votes. Keith Hale gets the coveted runner up spot with three
unnatural. And, probably because so few voted, my Oxforddictionaries.com
definition of "the study of beards" skated by with a D3.

So take it away, Johnny!
