[Fictionary] Codille results are *OUT*

[Joshua Randall]

An interesting round where the real def got zero votes! J-J wins by one
point with a final score of 7, and Nicolas is a close second with 6.

J-J 7: n. An oyster fork.

Ranjit 2, David 2, Pierre 1, Eric 2

Eric: So boring. Two points.

NICOLAS 6: n. A decorative squadron identification on an airplane's
fuselage or wing. Coined by airmen of the Escadrille de La Fayette during
World War I.

Jim 2, David 1, Eric 1, J-J 1, Elliott 1

Eric: Made me look up the Escadrille de La Fayette. One point.

Elliott: "Little code", maybe?  One point.  I suspect there's a joke hiding

here that I'm not getting because of not knowing enough about WWI.

ERIC 4: n. A type of small firecracker.

Pierre 2, J-J 2

Pierre: Two points. I hope we all know the difference between a firecracker
that fails

to crack and a partly dried cephalopod.

RANJIT 3: v. To cook by stirring hot liquid into beaten eggs.

Jim 1, Elliott 2

Pierre: Coddle.

Elliott: Wow, what liquid would that work with?  Oil?  Mercury?  I don't

believe it at all, but I like the idea.  Two points.

PIERRE 1: n. A still for distilling essential oils.

Ranjit 1

Ranjit: 1 point for distilling still.

REAL 0: n. A largely obsolete term from the game Ombre, indicating that the
game is won.

Pierre: Sonica award.

Eric: Theoretical points for ombre.

DAVID 0: n. A horse liniment.

Ranjit: imaginary "I wish I had one more point to give" point for horse
liniment (it was probably distilled in a codille and then codilled with
eggs that had been scrambled with a codille)
