[Dixonary] Rd. 2960 Pice Results

In retrospect, it might have been better to find another word, since I got
another DQ after defs were posted,
making a total of 4. This lead to a fairly low scoring round as well, a
four players did not vote. Oh well,
dealer's choice. Pice seems to be fairly well-known to close readers of
Kipling.

But it did lead to a very clear winner, Dave Cunningham, who guessed the
definition and whose dirt attractive to
infants garnered 6 unnatural points. The real winner was Ryan McGill,
whose scrap got 3 natural points.

So, Dave, the deal is yours.

It could also be the plural of "pouse," whatever a pouse is.
