Thank you, sozobe, for choosing my bluff, and awarding me a point!!!
ZYZZYGOGUE,
You're on. What our next word?
Final housekeeping on JUGLANDIN before Zyzzy steps up.
Felix voted for Taffy's #6; Cheshire voted for Felix's #13 and Taffy voted for Cheshire's #18.
The scoreboard:
Zyzzy earned 2, doubled to 4 because he landed on 13 points at the end on the last round/game. Zyzzy is in the lead with 4.
Bunched together with 2 points each are Hiama, Macsm, Littlek (yea), Biblio, Lola, 1st Thought, and Larry BS.
At 1 point each are P&L, Equus, Taffy, RJB, Sozobe, Felix, Jespah and Cheshire.
And then there is Diane.
The scoring chart strikes me as interesting. None of the people who got the correct answer managed to fool anyone else with his/her own bluff. All of the players who didn't get the right answer (except one) managed to garner one but only one vote.
Thanks Soz....
Just so you all know, you'll have to force me to be dasher when you think I'm due for the job.
Littlek...we don't usually use force. Shame or guilt are the typical weapons of choice. It's actually kind of fun and and doesn't take a tremendous amount of time. You have to keep the round moving to try to get it completed in a week or so and that may entail gently reminding players to post their bluffs or their votes.
Sometimes a word or round will "blow up" with seemingly wrong definitions turning out to be be right, but we're all friends here and those situations get sorted out.
If doing the scores is an issue there are a number of players who would be happy to help with that.
Anyway, think about it and if you would prefer not to, that's fine.

THE NEW BALDERDASH WORD IS
NAEVUS
Gads! I think Felix Noir has caught with my score. What is worse is that I was fooled by equus, but I couldn't fool anyone. Sob. This is getting to be embarrassing.
You're welcome PaL!
I probably have the most fun in this game in coming up with something that someone actually chooses, and when it's the likes of Equus, it's that much more fun. (The likes of littlek is fun, too, especially when she keeps doing it...
)
Anyway, on to NAEVUS! Hmmmmmmmmmmm....
And, Littlek, it is customary to thank the Dasher at the end of the round for doing a nice job. That's nice to receive.
NAEVUS eh? Sounds like the brand name of some car or a bankrupt internet company.
RJB! Great job! Really top-drawer! Big round of applause!
(Seriously.)
Hmmmm, I'm feeling very naevus about this word.
