Well, I finally succeeded in picking a word that no
one knew (or at least admitted to knowing *G*). Find
your definitions below.

We've got quite a range of definitions: from one word
to thirty-six and from toes to woodpiles.

Scoring as we've been doing for about a year now: Make
a two-point and a one-point vote for the most convincing
definitions.

Good luck!
