Default [Dixonary] Rd. 3087: Muley results

Hi all,

I knew muley was a good word, but I did not expect a D0! Def 7, polled,
hornless was ignored by everyone. Merriam Webster says it's derived from
Welsh and another source said it referred mostly to cows. What a great
Dixonary word. Of course Johnny knew it and DQ'd, but no one else did.

On the other hand, Efrem and his tractor ran away with it (natural 7) and
I'll have to admit his def did sound logical. Coveted runner up was Mike
and his poor farmer (3 natural). Four players did not vote by the
deadline, all the better for me!

So take it away, Efrem!
