Huh? A hutchet is a hatchet? You and what army? For some reason, I
can't find the results email for 'hutchet' from a quasquidecade ago (I
could swear I had been saving them all along, but the folder of saved
results doesn't contain anything from the plover era), but the
spreadsheet that I made gives the correct definition (and yes, you
picked it, Hutch) as:
> hutchet, n. a hunter's horn: bugle
(Although it doesn't affect the standings, it looks like I was credited
with a point that I didn't earn this round, as I did not in fact vote
for the correct definition.)
Meanwhile, if you have four enthusiastic fans of the FOX TV show about a
high-school singing club, would that be a murnival of gleeks?
