We Have Winners!


Perserverance pays. Several attempts to master one of S R's intriguing contests have ended in failure to grasp the gold ring-- er, I mean shiny red tomato. Aha. But this time I am a winner, sharing first place with Pricilla, clever little goat.
The entry required selecting three words from the provided list and creating definitions for same. This was my submission:

Carkyr --n. (deriv: western Appalachia ) attention to one's vehicle. "Junior Junior's garage gives the best carkyr hyrabouts.

Furamed --n. (pharmaceutical shorthand) generic diuretic. "The pharmacist filled my script for furamed."

Slyte --n. tricky expression of disrespect, so smooth that the recipient doesn't know he's been insulted.
--v.t. (-d, slyting) the act of showing such disrespect. "Junior's garage is the best in these parts." (As, it is the only garage in these parts, hence Junior has been "slyted.")
Thankyou, Chuck
, for entertaining us!
