including these three, but I'm unable to find any definitions on
line, and I think that's because they are from Middle English,
and therefore not legit in my book. So instead, please either
define or tell me that you already know: <br>

Been having a very busy couple of months. I literally
didn't see this <br>
until just now. If someone else can take this round, I'd
appreciate it. <br>

J-J: Since you were second? You want to take this one? <br>

Linda: I thought of the same thing. I'm actually reading
it now: _Daisy <br>

The mind boggles <br>
<br>
Elliott: How can you hustle a team sport? Hustlers
thrive on <br>
short, anonymous, <br>

isn't something <br>
you do <br>
<br>
on a bet in a bar. <br>

Ranjit 1 <br>

Jim: Mine. I actually submitted it not as simply
slang but Wall <br>

Finance has almost as many jargon terms as sailing...

Pierre: This reminds me of "backwardation". <br>

Elliott: How would that work? There's no upper limit
on how high <br>
the market can go; does that mean the pooter's value
can become <br>
negative, so that participants end up owing the fund?
