Default [Dixonary] Round 3141: KRIMMER Results

As most of you guessed, the etymology of *krimmer* derives from Crimea.
However, twice as many of you guessed at Paul Keating's fur-lined hat (#1)
than identified the fur itself (#2) as the true definition, leaving me with
a D3 and Paul with 6 points and the deal. He may or may not enjoy a Basque
IPA with his newfound responsibilities.

Alan Mallach's know-it-all takes coveted "real winner" status with 5 votes.

returning from the Crimean War
