Default [Dixonary] Round 2922 DIRL Voting Time!

Folks,

Thirteen possible definitions of DIRL follow. They have been edited for format consistency and are in alphabetical order as Excel understands it.

One of these definitions is correct, but which? The others are the products of your collective minds. Please vote for two that you like for any reason (such as, but not necessarily, thinking that they might be correct) by public Reply to this message before the deadline that follows the list.

1. [Bot.] the directional rotation of climbing vines.

2. [computer science] processing time required by a device prior to the execution of a command.

3. [of humor] light or brilliant.

4. [Scot.] to vibrate or shake.

5. a flounced hem at the bottom of a taffeta skirt, worn by British women in the 18th Century.

6. a multi-purpose tool with a hammer head on one end, and jaws for gripping and turning a nut or bolt on the other end.

7. a screw device for raising and lowering sluices, esp. at a water mill.

8. a small freshwater game fish similar to a trout, found primarily in the Colorado River basin.

9. a yard ornament; also known as a whirligig.

10. an extravagant flourish at the end of a signature.

11. to make a log spin by walking on it.

12. to place a pattern of indentations on a knob or other control.

13. to push, nudge, shove; esp. to jerk the hand and arm unlawfully when shooting a marble; to push the hand slyly forward to be nearer the mark. Also (in later use): to shoot a marble from the hand by jerking the bent thumb (with no implication of cheating).

The deadline for voting is just under 48 hours from now: 9 pm on Thursday, September 13, in US EDT. According to timeanddate.com <http://timeanddate.com/>, that is:



and other times in other places. Please check any conversion that applies to you. That site is good, but nobody's perfect.

New players are welcome to vote, even if you didn't submit a definition for this word - as are, of course, veteran players who happened not to. Full rules at http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules <http://www.dixonary.net/game-rules-and-advice/rules> .

Vote on, friends!

Efrem

I'm glad you're on the mend.

About your leg: were you forbidden to bend your leg or simply unable to
do it?

Thanks, everyone! I'm in my apartment and recuperating just fine. To
answer Guerri: they require me to keep it flat and still for 6 hours
in case there might be any bleeding from the catheterisation
procedure. Or something close to that. I'm on the mend, and should
be back at work soon!

Hi Efrem,

Are you sure you included the real definition? In fact, are you even
sure it is a real word and not the result of a cat sleeping on your
keyboard?

Anyway, my votes are for the two defs that use other words I don't know:
#5 and #9.

Cheers,
Hugo

Shake, rattle, and nudge: 4 and 13, pease.

4. [Scot.] to vibrate or shake.

13. to push, nudge, shove; esp. to jerk the hand and arm unlawfully when
shooting a marble; to push the hand slyly forward to be nearer the mark.
Also (in later use): to shoot a marble from the hand by jerking the bent
thumb (with no implication of cheating).

First -- Keith, get well soon!!!

My votes (lots of good fake definitions, IMO!):

6. a multi-purpose tool with a hammer head on one end, and jaws for gripping and turning a nut or bolt on the other end.
7. a screw device for raising and lowering sluices, esp. at a water mill.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

I would prefer to have 3 choices but if I can't, then I'll take 4 and 12
please.

Get well, Keith! And pray for us here on the East Coast as we are about to
take a good flush ourselves in the coming mega storm.

Oops -

I just realized that Sheri's vote, which came to me in a private email, was actually a reply to my sending her (also in a private email) the list of definitions - and telling her, in that email, which one hers is. Since I forwarded the whole thing to the group, I also inadvertently spilled the beans about which one her definition is. Since over half the submitters have already voted, one DP to Sheri as compensation for probably not getting any more votes from the remaining four or five.
