[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. 1. a gray fur hat with ear-flaps introduced to England by soldiers returning from the Crimean War Submitted by: Paul Keating, who didn't vote and scored 6 Votes from: Debbie Embler, Mike Shefler, Judy Madnick, Efrem Mallach, Dave Cunningham, Deorah Fein 2.
