Balderdash

Several strides, eh? I'm silent 'cause I have absolutely no clue.

The learned folks going for 11 tempts me, but I think I'll go for 18.

Balderdash word plumbago
I was sure that I posted this before


I choose #11 firstthought

and taffy says I am wrong as usual,

She chooses #10(Downing St) Taffy Le Blanc

#11

I'll post the new word as soon as everyone had made a choice on the present word.

Who hasn't posted a guess for plumbago yet?

Hi everyone.... I'll do a head-count tomorrow.... running out the door now.... on my way to Tai Chi class.... Yin/Yang.... c-ya tomorrow!!

Peacea and Love-as if pushing a door ....using her cloud hands

Hi Everyone.....

We have received guesses from everyone, except little k.

(macsm knew the correct answer)


Let's give little k a few more minutes.... I'll send her a PM.... I'm at the office now and will be rushing out later this afternoon, for our evening at the dog training center.... I'll plan to post the complete list mid-afternoon, Pacific Time....


hiama... loved the "cloud hands".... (one of my favorite Tai Chi steps)....

OOPS.... I just found little k's guess.... OK... I'll be back shortly with the list....

OK, Balderdashers....

macsm sent me a PM, saying that she knew the answer, because her father had plumbago trees. This was not the answer that was on my card from my Balderdash game. However, when I consulted the dictionary, I discovered that macsm's definition was, indeed, in the dictionary!! Therefore, macsm received 3 points for submitting the correct definition, even through it is different than the "real definition" below......

Thank you Peace and Love (and your cloud hands). Congratulations Soz.

The new word is: STICHOMANCY.

PM me with your definitions. Unless they come in sooner, I'll post them on Monday.

Good luck!

Hmph.

I keep guessing soz's answers.

Must be a psychic connection.

I noticed that littlek! We think alike, I guess.

<Is Paypal OK or should I send cash...?>

<grin>

WOW! I already have a definition from Jespah for STICHOMANCY.

Hey, I don't fool around (actually, I take my free moments when I have 'em).

PS I'm not quite losing as badly as I normally do. Gotta get the cat ahead of me - Cheshire, you need another point!

This is great--definitions from equus and macsm11. If they keep coming in this fast, I'll be able to post them on Friday or Saturday!
