Default [Dixonary] Round 2837 (PINTA) results

Fellow players,

Pinta is the skin disease of Definition 12. Rather than go into detail here, I recommend this site <https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/pinta/> for those who want more information. If you do, I sincerely hope you are only motivated by curiosity.

The deal bounces back to Shani Naylor, whose respected Filipina got six votes giving her a score of 8. David Cunningham was runner-up and traditional "winnah." His painted cow also got six votes, but he didn't vote for the skin disease. He would have lost the rolling-score tie-breaker even if he had, so that didn't affect the next deal.

Full results:

1. a grey wig. From Widdis, D. who voted 3, 8. Voted for by: Cunningham, D.; Barrs, J.; Shepherdson, N.; Abell, T. Score: 4.

2. fawning; obsequious. From Shefler, M. who voted 8, 10. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

3. a crude dye made of berry juice and ash. From Hale, K. who voted 4, 7. Voted for by: Widdis, D. Score: 1.

4. [Port.] painted, especially of livestock. From Cunningham, D. who voted 1, 8. Voted for by: Hale, K.; Lodge, T.; Naylor, S.; Carson, C.; Bourne, T.; McGill, R. Score: 6.

5. an athletic, fast-paced dance, performed by 3 people. From Stevens, G. who voted 10, 11. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

6. a large curved brick or tile used to support a melting pot. From Madnick, J. who voted 7, 10. Voted for by: None. Score: 0.

7. painting by dots; an early name for Pointilism (which see). From Barrs, J. who voted 1, *12*. Voted for by: Hale, K.; Madnick, J. Score: 4.

8. a fine wool, similar to angora; or, the hybrid sheep that bears it. From Shepherdson, N. who voted 1, 9. Voted for by: Widdis, D.; Shefler, M.; Cunningham, D. Score: 3.

9. a brightly-colored flycatcher of Central America, _Pyrocephalus rubinus_.. From Lodge, T. who voted 4, *12*. Voted for by: Shepherdson, N. Score: 3.

10. [Philippine Eng.] grandmother. Also used as a respectful title or form of address for an elderly woman. From Naylor, S. who voted 4, *12*. Voted for by: Shefler, M.; Stevens, G.; Madnick, J.; Carson, C.; Bourne, T.; McGill, R. Score: 8.

11. a long wide scarf often worn draped over the head or across the shoulders, chiefly by women in South Asia. From Carson, C. who voted 4, 10. Voted for by: Stevens, G. Score: 1.

12. a contagious skin disease prevalent in tropical America, caused by a spirochete (Treponema carateum) and marked by extreme thickening and spotty discoloration of the skin. From Dictionary which could not vote. Voted for by: Barrs, J.; Lodge, T.; Naylor, S.; Abell, T. Score: D4.

No definition from Bourne, T. who voted 4, 10. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 0.

No definition from McGill, R. who voted 4, 10. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 0.

No definition from Abell, T. who voted 1, *12*. Voted for by: N/A. Score: 2..

It's ping-pong time. Back to you, Shani!
