[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! 1. a Haitian dance of African origin having drum and stick accompaniment and performed as a work dance or as a dance for the dead. Voted for by Dan Widdis, Tim Bourne SOURCE: Merriam-Webster's Unabridged, which cannot vote, and scores D2 2. In southern Africa, a meeting of tribal elders.
