[Fictionary] Misqueme - to displease (Results)

[Hutch]

It was a three-way tie (Elliot's 'heckle', Fran's 'indigenous name', and
David's 'bee disease') until the last two votes came in on Monday. And they
sent Ranjit's 'Washington blackberry' from behind to a SOLID victory.

The real story here is that the real definition ('displease') got NO votes
at all. No one even commented on it.

Ranjit: you're up to bat!

(NOTE: Ranjit was the member who didn't receive the early emails. I've
BCC'ed him again, but if anyone has direct contact with him, let him know
if he doesn't respond in the next few days.)

BB,
Hutch

misqueme - n. - a geological feature that approximates the name of the
feature as known by indigenous people local to the region surrounding the
feature. Ex: The name of Mooselookmeguntic Lake in Maine, United States is
a misqueme, since the name approximates an Abnaki word meaning "place where
moose eat."
by Fran Poodry 3
David Randall: I am at Moosehead Lake  in Maine, on vacation, right now!
2 Eric Cohen: Two points. And well-deserved, because i) this needs a word
for it, and ii) the author went to the trouble of typing
"Mooselookmeguntic".
1 Linda F Owens: One point for the indigenous geological forms. Chicopee
[MA] means The Falls, in Algonkian, btw. My Dad worked in redundant
Chicopee Falls for many decades.

misqueme - n. - a bee colony suffering from infectious sexual dysphoria,
transmitted by wax moths
by David Randall 3: Kipling’s The Hive is the source, fyi.
Eric Cohen: Wax moths don't transmit sexual dysphoria, they transmit death.
(Also, possibly, socialism -- cf. Kipling, "The Mother Hive".)
2 Linda F Owens: Sadly, we lost all of our bees a few decades ago to
Acarine Mites. So, two points for the poor disoriented bees.
Pierre Abbat: I don't beelieve it. Are we talking about honeybees,
bumblebees, sweat bees, or what?
