Default [Dixonary] Round 3070 results

Our next dealer is Tim L, who scored 6 natural points with his muttonbird def
(actual Maori name is tītī) and who is ahead of Efrem M in the rolling
scores. Efrem also scored 6 natural points for his extinct NZ bird.
According to that reputable authority, Wye's Dictionary of Improbable
Words, ay-ay-aya is actually the yell of a runner in training (not that
I've ever heard a runner yell this). Wye's dictionary focuses on words that
are all vowels (including y) or all consonants and are found in published
books. You can have a peek inside on Amazon.

Take it away Tim!

1. The yell of a runner in training.
D0!! 2. [Maori] The muttonbird or sooty shearwater.

rough diamonds ever found, weighing 2,334 carats and discovered at Boevets,
South Africa on May 12, 1986 and named after a local spring.

Votes from Judy M & Dan W. 11. An artistic movement originating in Italy
in the 1960s, incorporating elements of conceptual, minimalist, and

Congratulations on the D0, Shani!

As a runner for several decades (eight marathons and an uncounted number of shorter races from 3 miles to 30 km), though none for several years now, I've never heard it either - but I can imagine it vividly.

And Tim - thanks for having a higher rolling score!

Efrem

Congrats, Shani! That was a great choice of words. It seemed too obvious, and I eliminated it immediately.
