Default [Dixonary] Round 2883 - JUBA Results

Juba is a word with a lot of meanings. I chose the first of two similar ones
offered by the dictionary. Two perceptive players--Dan Widdis and Tim
Bourne--picked up on the real definition, not counting John Barrs, who
initially warned of a likely DQ status and then confirmed it when the
definitions were posted. Dan's joy-giving snapping beetle was so popular that,
together with his guessing the real definition, the 6 point total makes him
the next dealer. The real winner was Tim Bourne, with 4 unnatural points.

Take it away, Dan!
