Default [Dixonary] Round 3006 PULLIKINS Defs - Vote Now!

Apologies for the slight delay - I was distracted becuase a man who is
doing a CCTV survey of our drains turned up ealier than I'd expected. The
registration number of his van is POO 4 CAM.

Anyway, enough of that. Here we have 11 carefully-constructed defsof the
word PULLIKINS, only one of which came from my dictionary. Please vote for
your two favourites by public reply to this message, before the deadline of:

09:00 BST on Friday 16th August, which is
08:00 GMT
10:00 CET
4:00 AM EDT
1:00 AM PST
20:00 NZST

*** PULLIKINS

1. loose trousers.

2. [Scot.] a diaper.

3. another name for SPILLIKINS.

4. frantic or excited activity.

5. a freight car on a railway. [Eng.]

6. forceps or pliers used to extract teeth.

7. a specialized come-a-long used in the medical field.

8. [S. Brit.] pranks pulled by children on All Hallow's Eve.

9. petticoat breeches gathered at the knee; worn by men in mid 17th
century Western Europe.

10. [York. folklore] an imp who picks ripe apples at night, leaving only
unripe or misshapen fruit.

11. loose pantaloons worn by women in the late 19th Century; more
popularly known as “bloomers,” after their creator Amelia Jenks Bloomer
(1818-1894).
