2. [Scouse] a beggar; a vagrant.



6. style of filmmaking in which most scenes are shot from the

perspective of the main character, and the audience sees only what

One can learn a lot from these definitions. Last time I learned about spitting cucumbers, and once this round is over, I plan to look up the rational dress movement (who knew?).



On the assumption that in ‘spart’ is a typo for ‘sprat’, I’ll vote for #1 and #8.
