Don't recall much about Daisy Fay, except the Weather Girl scene, Vaseline on the teeth to make them shine, and also the pooting, since it was a new word for me. I am rereading the Grantchester Mysteries by James Runcie, which take place outside Cambridge U, England. Cricket is Sidney Chambers' favorite sport. In one section, a cricket player dies of poisoning, but from where? Have a nice Spring everyone, if at all possible. Linda PS About to reread Sigrid Unset's Kristin Labransdottir--various spellings--about Medieval Norway, and two of her other books about Norwegian family life and myth. My son Adrian and his wife Allison just ran the World Championships for Ski Orienteering in their home town and then took a Skiing vacation to Norway, staying with friends in the north and near Oslo. Allison hopes to teach a course on Norwegian Ski Culture at their local Sterling College, where they both teach environmental subjects and sustainability. While their lifestyle is nearly zero percent carbon footprint, they spend some on travel to study or compete. Back to wishing you all good weather at last, but duck, here comes anther storm! L.

Sorry, everybody!!!
Been having a very busy couple of months. I literally didn't see this until just now. If someone else can take this round, I'd appreciate it.J-J: Since you were second? You want to take this one?
Linda: I thought of the same thing. I'm actually reading it now: _Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man_, originally published as _Coming Attractions_.

I shouldn't run rounds anymore 😢. Too busy securing the clood pooters...
Pierre was the only one to correctly identify a pooter as a 🛠bottle, but it is Hutch's 🦃 wattle that takes the day. (J-J's eel verbing was just edged out.)
Take it away, Hutch!

David
n. A cricket hustler.
Linda 2
Jim: Hustling how? In cricket races? Cricket fights? The mind boggles
Elliott: How can you hustle a team sport? Hustlers thrive on short, anonymous,
impromptu interactions. Cricket takes forever and isn't something you do
on a bet in a bar.
----
Elliott
n. A chair upholstered to feel like a lap when sat in.
Jim 2
Jim: Eccentric and charming!
Pierre: Does it have to be specially travished first?
Elliott: Wouldn't be hard to make, would it?
----
macOS Dictionary
n. A bottle for collecting small insects and other invertebrates.
Pierre 1
Pierre: Including hustled crickets?
Nick: Rest of the definition details: "...having one tube through which they are sucked into the bottle and another, protected by muslin or gauze, which is sucked. Chiefly entomology, 1930s. Said to be from the name of William Poos (1891-1987), American entomologist."
----
Fran
n. An eraser with a hole in it for placing on the end of a pencil; also called a pencil-top eraser.
Ranjit 2
Ranjit: 2 pooters for the p-t-er
----
J-J
v. To ice-fish for eels.
Jim 1
Pierre 2
Jim: I’ll break my 1-point vote tie for the person brave enough to submit a verb.
Pierre: Two points for verbing.
Elliott: Hence, metaphorically, to waste one's time in a vain hope.
----
Linda
n., slang Someone who breaks wind.
Linda: BTW, That's how is was used in the book about Daisy Fay by Fannie Flagg. I was not allowed to use such words when I was supposed to be a well-behaved young lady.
----
Jim
n., slang A fund whose value rises when the average of a particular market falls; an inverse ETF.
Ranjit 1
Jim: Mine. I actually submitted it not as simply “slang†but “Wall Street slangâ€, which I thought would make it seem more plausible. Finance has almost as many jargon terms as sailing...Â
Nick: Apologies for the standardization over edit!
Pierre: This reminds me of "backwardation".
Elliott: How would that work? There's no upper limit on how high the market can go; does that mean the pooter's value can become negative, so that participants end up owing the fund?
Ranjit: One pooter
----
Ranjit
n. A Pomeranian golden pudding. fm. Putter or poty
David 1
----
Pierre
n. Any of various essential oils added to a henna mix to intensify the stain; v. To add such an essential oil to a henna mix.

Linda 1
Pierre: I haven't heard the landlady talk about Sir Thomas's pooter!

Linda: I suspect that's meant to be pouter
