I'll give you all one more day. Think! Take a risk! Chances are you won't lose your life savings if you come up with a daffynition.

Okay. Here we go. Guess away!

1) Too frequent use of the letter m or of the sound represented by it.

2) Witchery

3) Use of a pet name or nickname for a person.

4) Reaching middle age; from the Greek letter M which stands for 40.

5) The worship of mushrooms.

6) Extermination of insects.

7) A form of Zoroasterianism whose devotees dispute the concept of good versus evil.

8) The belief that the ghosts of murder victims remain to haunt the place of their demise.

Geoff, where was yours??? Yours are always so creative. We'd love your guess, at least. Wink

One more day!

Remember, Geoff, this game is more fun for those who don't know the real definitions. It's fun to guess!

OK, I'll guess it's the extermination, by witchery, of Zoroastrian ghosts using mushrooms.

#8????? Confused

Alright then - here we go!

1) Too frequent use of the letter m or of the sound represented by it - Webster's Dictionary; guessed by no one (but I think arnie knew the definition because of his guess).

2) Witchery - Mine; guessed by MY FAVORITE PERSON - Proof!

3) Use of a pet name or nickname for a person - arnie's; guessed by Bob Hale

4) Reaching middle age; from the Greek letter M which stands for 40 - arnie's and guessed by arnie (a strategy that didn't work).

5) The worship of mushrooms - Bob Hale's; guessed by no one.

6) Extermination of insects - Bob Hale's; guessed by no one (Blame it on China!)

7) A form of Zoroasterianism whose devotees dispute the concept of good versus evil - Proof's; guessed by no one.

8) The belief that the ghosts of murder victims remain to haunt the place of their demise - Proof's; guessed by Geoff.

[Edited to add Geoff's guess - so sorry I missed it, Geoff!]

I guessed it was 1 from its Greek roots - I'd never heard it before. I thought I had a bid of an unfair advantage so tried a little misdirection - which failed.

arnie, that's called an educated guess. I imagine you were a fantastic test taker in school.
