I like #3. It is probably wrong, but that's what I'm going with.
Oh good, I got back from Virginia in time to guess. Yikes, these are all so good!!
Diane guesses #10
Felix Noir guesses #11
As usual, Felix is the only one who is certain of the answer.
Firstthoght, I hope your eye continues to heal quickly and that you experience much better vision.

'Hmm....a backwards dictionary for when you know what something is, but can't remember what it's called.'
Number 12 is the definition given by the Author of the Reference Book "Descriptionary" by Marc McCutcheon (Aug 2000)
It is a reverse dictionary of a sort : Its when you can remember the meaning but cannot remember the 'Word'. One therefore looks up meanings in this book.
Diane Your bluff luck out this time you get 4 points.

Give it your best shot!
Damn, P&L gets me every time.
Good job Firstthought.
awww no fair i actually know this word lol
Safecracker, if you know the word, then send me the correct definition and you'll get three points.
Finally, I am ahead of Felix Noir!! Only by one point, but I'm not complaining. Thanks to mac11, hiama, cav and Eva, I no longer have to be embarrassed by my well-spoken feline.
Now mac11 well have her revenge.....
but if i give a good bluff and guess the correct def ill get more points won't i?
Thanks Firstthought, first time I've won anything worth winning.
Tickets for the celebration bash are winging their way to my good friends all over the globe

That's true, safecracker. If you send a bluff instead of sending me what you believe to be the correct definition (which you have done already), you have the potential to win more points. (You'll get two points for knowing the definition and one point for each person you fool with your bluff.) Since you've announced that you know the correct definition, I think you should wait until everyone else has voted to tell your vote (or there won't be much of a spread, will there?) Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense, or if you want to change your mind and go for the sure three points.
So with 26 points, hasn't hiama officially won that game? If I remember correctly, we should restart the scoring on this next round...right?
I'm gonna go with #10, simply because it sounds like it!
