[Fictionary] Codille results are *OUT*

[Jean-Joseph Cote]

Just noticed that I won this round (my email continues to be weird, in novel ways), so I'll send out the next candidate word shortly.

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)
