Default [Dixonary] Rnd 2869 ZABERNISM - Def up - Vote

On this Superbowl night (night to me) here are 11 definitions - sorted
more-or-less by length - to distract you from the half-time show - or
the game, whichever is the most boring; or maybe during a add break -
whatever ..

It is only 11 defs but to make up for that here are a fair number of
words. Find some time to vote for TWO definitions, as a public forum or
group message (in reply to this one), before the deadline..

10:00 pm on Tuesday, 06 Feb 2018 in the UK
5:00 pm onÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* East Coast USA
2:00 pm onÂ*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â*Â* West Coast USA
8:00 am onÂ* 7 Feb in parts of Oz

New Players are welcome, even if you didn't submit a definition you may
vote.

every meal (after _Dr. Francis Zaber_ of Battle Creek, Michigan)

Â*9. the practice of choosing names for products or companies, such as
Aardvark or Zum, that will stand out at the beginning or end of a list
of search results

10. an apocalyptic doctrine that predicted the end of the world on June

Cyril Zabern (1826- 1890), an American from St. Louis, Missouri

11. a short-lived avant-garde art movement named after Swiss painter
Johannes Zabern (1875-1927). Derived from futurism and cubism, it
reached its climax at an exhibition in Paris in 1913 and dwindled in
influence after World War I
