Okay. Baubling between #4 & #6 for some reason. Throws dart ... #4 it is! I hope hiama (I mean I!) am right!
Dev's, your always right. Lie down here whilst I talk to you. :wink:
That's pretty true, I AM always right...! But, how do you know - unleste you know the meaning of faleste!
Hoping Equus will come this way soon...
Okay, I have no idea, so how about #1.
If I may, I guess #2.
This is a real poser!
FALESTE -
1 of or pertaining to voids and space, barrenness - Jespah and Equus filled this space - thoughtfully created in the first place by - Jespah!
2 punishment in which the condemned criminal is tied up and left on the beach to be carried away by the next tide - the true definition, on which beach George landed fairly and squarely
3 a Michaelmas fair held in northern Norway at which reindeer steaks and spiced akevitt are served - my bluff, untasted
4 (French origin) false or untrue testimony or documentation, esp. in genealogy research - justthefax documented this one, and it appeared true to hiama and devriesj
5 the customary bow between competitors prior to a fencing match - a courtesy offered by Equus and accepted by justthefax
6 a small annex to a kitchen, thought to be of French origin - built by hiama, annexed by spendius
7 of, like or pertaining to holidays - a festive offering from devriesj which attracted nobody
Jespah - 1 (we don't count her own)
Clary - 0
justthefax - 2
Equus - 1
hiama - 1
devriesj - 0
George - 3
spendius - 0
Oops, didn't meant to vote for my own.
Ah ha. The ol' misdirection ploy, eh?
Except I misdirected myself. I wonder if that's a symptom of faleste-ism?
Thanks for the vote on my bluff hiama and devriesj.
When I don't know the word I have been luck with a guess. This one had be in the dark, High and dry away from the Beach, and I am glad of that!
You're welcome, I think... This one perplexed me too. Couldn't even come up with distracting bluff!!
Before condemning Jespah to death by faleste, I thought you etymologically interested bods might like this explanation of it:
the full definition from an 1839 Law Dictionary is:
A capital punishment inflicted on a malefactor on the seashore, by laying him bound on the sands till the next full tide carried him away. From Norman French - falese seashore/cliffs (modern French falaise)
Oof, that's a pleasant thought. Nawt!
Oh, I think I'd like to be the dasher, but I am a little swamped with real life stuff so it might be a slow round.
If that's okay with everyone, the next word is:
electrofish
Oooooh, I LOVE that band!!!
2 bluffs - I mean, expertly wonderful definitions - are in already!
Send in bluffs this may be a good one. Don't get hooked.
Floundering in choices? Bet you're a dab hand at it!
I lost my fishing rod, and went to the lost and flounder department and found it there pearched on the shelf. I guess it was there just for the halibut.
