RE: [Dixonary] Round 3009 time to vote!
I wish dealers would stop forgetting to include the real definition. :-(
Since I have to vote to play the game, I'll go with these, although I don't really believe them: 8. [Can. sl.] A person of Franco-Scottish ancestry. 12. The eco-system found on the machair, a habitat occurring on the coasts of some Scottish islands. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Dixonary" group.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3009 time to vote!
I’ll take 8 for the Canadian slang with the odd mixture of Scottish and French, and the eponymous 13 for luck and to reward its author, though I don’t believe it one bit.

Re: [Dixonary] Round 3009 time to vote!
Maybe it's because I'm hungry, but I'll go with two of the food-related definitions: #2 and #10. (Granted, a donut hole isn't all that filling.)
