Thanks for the definitions, folks.  I'm pleased to report that we have at least one noun, verb, adverb, and adjective.  Which is great, although as I think about it it seems like "plew" would also make a pretty good interjection...

I got a few knock-knock jokes, but I'll save them for the results, since some of them would give away which definitions are invented.  (So feel free to send more.)

As usual, a 1-point vote and a 2-point vote.  Please send your votes by end-of-day Tuesday, September 14.  Thanks!
