Can someone else update scores?? It's been so long....

Where is the elephant among us ?

I will sort out the scoring today...

Although the winning definition was indeed the correct answer, it might be a point of curiosity to mention that the definition originally derived from the image of a peeled garlic clove, which apparently resembled a bald-headed man, hence the Kojak reference. I guessed without any expectation of points

Yes, cavfancier, my source said it originally meant "bald-headed man" and later acquired the humorous contempt/mock pity definition.

I just think it is cool how words develop...

I am working on getting our Balderdash scores updated. May I propose that we not attempt to resurrect scoring from the ETAOIN SHRDLU round? It will probably be impossible to score completely after nearly two months.

If no one has a problem with that, I'll move on and post scores from the PILGARLIC round tomorrow...

Do we have any volunteers for dasher?

Yep, that'll be me then:- The word is :-

ECDYSIAST

I have received 2 correct answers to ECDYSIAST, so these two worthies will receive the requisite points, which I think I declare after this round is completed with another word, the new word is :-

GABERLUNZIE

Enjoy, and please PM me with your bluffs and/or real definitions

Since no one has objected, I'm not scoring the ETAOIN SHRDLU round. Please let me know if you find errors!

Wow, I'm in time for another round! Equus, thank you for pilgarlic, even though I hadn't a clue as to the meaning.

Mac11, many thanks for totalling the scores.

Hiama, gaberlunzie is maddeningly obscure--just the sort we all enjoy. A good bluff will take some thought.

I need to consult with Felix Noir.

OK Diane, hope to hear from you soon and the others who have not sent theirs in yet.

So far have replies from the following :-

Margo
Jespah
Mac
Equus
Firstthought


Thanks to Mac for the scoring even though she is beating me-(sucks thumb in corner)

I thought maybe Friday night EST would be a good deadline, what do others think ?

I have now heard from :-

Margo
Jespah
Mac
Equus
Firstthought
Eva

Please keep them coming only 3 and a bit days left until Friday evening

As I have only heard from :-

Margo
Jespah
Mac

Will extend to Monday, if nobody has any objections

No objections from me. The more the merrier...
