[Fictionary] HUTCH-CLEADING: The Results

[Hutch]

And it's Eric's rotary engine in a runaway!

The voting and the reasoning was all pretty similar. Everyone who
voted for it gave it two points and gave their one point vote (except
for Eric who didn't PLACE a one-point vote) to the real definition:
the mine car. Nobody liked my example sentence. But I've BEEN in one
of those things and they definitely rattle and squeak.

Take it away, Eric!!!!

BB,
Hutch

HUTCH-CLEADING - n. - (US military acronym) High Utilization Temporary
Command Headquarters - Combination Leisure/Entertainment And Dining
Installation, Noncontiguous Garrison
Subsequent to completion of comm facilities and perimeter security
measures, one (1) HUTCH-CLEADING and three (3) AMBI-OCHER units will
be brought in by C-130s on the temporary airstrip prior to the arrival
of the full complement of troops.
Source: J-J Coté: Took me most of my hour-long commute to refine the
acronym, and I still had to consult a list of military terms to come
up with "noncontiguous".
3 (Linda 2 + 1 for correct guess)
Linda: two points for the military acromyn, for its being so
officiously official
Elliott: I like the idea, but the definition is too clear.
Hutch: Now I want to know what an "AMBI-OCHER" is *LOL* I have to
admit that I figured this one would get more votes. When it came in I
was bustin' a gut.

hutch-cleading - n. - The layer of rabbit pellets that accumulates at
the bottom of rabbit hutches
I really don't want to clean out the hutch-cleading.
Source: David Randall
2 (Linda 1 + 1 for correct guess)
Linda: one point for the rabbit manure problem. Have had rabbits, but
don't now. We have had chickens, ducks, and goats for decades, and
they provide comic relief, plus lots of uncollected manure, alas, but
sometimes eggs (no milk). We just put down another layer of hay for
bedding until we get to clean-up in the spring, and to make it sound
proper, we call it the "deep litter method." Our only horse really had
a lot of poops, which he liked to leave in one corner of his shed,
like a large hamster--took about 30 forkfuls per day to move, which I
tossed over the fence until that was too hard in icy weather, so I
made a barricade in front of the shed so he could have a "wall of
protection", which he liked. It came in handy after he died, that the
wall could be moved by a huge bulldozer to dig a burial plot in
otherwise frozen January, so he could be buried on our property."

hutch-cleading - n. - A hexagonal crosshatch pattern in textiles (from
ME clead, v. to weave wire)
I'm looking for a throw with more hutch-cleading, so it matches the couch.
Source: Nick Ward
1 (J-J Coté 1)
J-J: I like it, but it's rather along the lines of the first sort of
definition that came to mind, so I'll cast it only one point.

hutch-cleading - n. - In a rotary aviation engine, the double-walled
sprung bearing chamber providing lubricating oil to the rotating
cylinders.
"Cotton waste should never be employed to wipe down the hutch-cleading
or oil scavenge chamber, as tiny fibers may jam the valve returns. Use
a soft chamois if needed."
Source: fictioneric (who ONLY placed a two point vote, correctly at that)
10 (David 2, J-J 2, Pierre 2, Elliott 2 + 2 for correct guess)
J-J: I like this definition a lot.  I almost passed on it because I
was thinking that it's not the cylinders that rotate, but then I
realized that I was picturing a radial engine, not the quirkier rotary
engines used by the Sopwith Camel and other WWI era aircraft. Yeah, I
don't know the details of those, but they must have had some weird way
of moving oil around, so I'll give this my double-pointer.
Elliott: A deliberate spoonerism for "clutch-heading"? Not unheard of
in the engineering world; speech technology has "cepstrum",
"quefrency’, and "gamnitude" (from "spectrum", "frequency", and
"magnitude"). The sentence is plausible too. Two points.

hutch-cleading - n. - In mining, the bottom-, side-, and end-boards of
a hutch or mine-car.
As we descended into the bowels of the earth, the rattle of the
hutch-cleading and the squeak of the hutch's wheels were the only
sounds to be heard.

6 (Ranjit 1, David 1, Eric 2, Pierre 1, Elliott 1)
fictioneric: Actually sounds plausible.
J-J: I'm going to speculate that such boards would be immobile,
perhaps wedged in place with coal dust if nothing else, and therefore
wouldn't rattle. -- [After selecting his votes] Interesting that if
you google "hutch-cleading", it helpfully suggests that you maybe
meant "hutch cleaning" and shows links about cleaning a rabbit hutch.
But ... more persistence reveals that indeed, it's the boards of the
mine car.
Elliott: OK, so maybe "cleading" is "cladding". Hmm. I'm not quite
sold on the sentence, though. One point.

hutch-cleading - n. - The call sounded by hunters on the horn when
hunting rabbits which will be taken alive.
Hardwin led his group one way around the warren; Alfric went the
other. Robert sounded the horn. "That's the hutch-cleading, not the
pot-cleading," thought Alfric.
Source: Pierre Abbat
3 (Ranjit 2 + 1 for correct guess)
J-J: Played on a hutchet, no doubt. The similarity makes me rule this
out. [Hutch: The hutchet was a hand-axe, not a musical instrument :-)
]
Elliott: I like this, even though it's a rabbit def, because of the
hutch/pot opposition.

hutch-cleading - n. - A small-holding, with certain requirements.
The cleading of Meadowsweet Farms came with a 10 percent tithe to the
local parish.
Source: lindafowens (lindafowens at netzero.com)
I thought the word was only "cleading", with Hutch being your
signature, so I assume no one will vote for mine, perhaps all to the
good, as this is a busy time of year for me--lots of friends and
family stuff, plus charities, Boy Scout activities  (husband David is
still the Scoutmaster), subscription renewel, etc. [Hutch: This was my
fault. I failed to notice that Linda had used ‘cleading’ rather than
‘hutch-cleading’ in her example sentence.]
0
J-J: I'd consider it not particularly sporting for the real definition
to show usage for "cleading" instead of "hutch-cleading", so I'll
eliminate this one.
Elliott: Did people go around giving property names like "Meadowsweet
Farms" when they still tithed to the parish?

Ranjit Bhatnagar scored 1 for a correct guess and so did Elliott
Moreton (Nice though few. I have to have some way to eliminate defs,
so I'll arbitrarily avoid anything with rabbits in it.)
