[Dixonary] Round 2938 WHERRET Results

Judy Madnick takes the next deal with 4 votes for her mountaineering clip
(which I think is actually a jumar). Tony Abell and Shani Naylor got 3
points each, but 2 of Shani's were gained because she guessed the true def,
number 7, so Tony is the real winner. Johnny Barrs also guessed correctly
that a WHERRET is a slap in the face, leaving me with a D2.

Over to you, Judy - I'm off to the dentist to get a wherret!
