The next Bluffing Game word is thirlable. A fellow logophile sent it to me, so I can't take credit for it. He/she isn't able to participate right now, so I am taking over that role. Send me your daffynitions via PM...and good luck (you'll need it!).

Okay...let's see how this one ends. Here are the daffynitions y'all sent, along with the real thing:

1) Easily flustered

2) Early 20th century humorous misspelling of "thrillable" used by young adults of themselves. c/w "thirl girl", another term for "flapper"

3) Heraldic term meaning recognizable at a long distance and easily remembered. Early design elements such as bars and chevronels were categorized as “honorable ordinaries” if they were “thirlable”

4) Able to accept multiple layers of ink or passes through a press

5) That may be thirled or pierced; penetrable

6) Of game: in season; allowed to be hunted

7) A milking stool

8) Adj. capable of being thirled; to be thirled: to experience a peak experience as reported by an incompetent typist who gets no thirl from correcting "typos"

There are some interesting ones here! Because of Christmas, I will give you a few days to make your choices.

Four seems plausible, although I'm often what #1 says, especially when sitting on a #7.

Soooo, my final answer is four.

Here goes:

2) Early 20th century humorous misspelling of "thrillable" used by young adults of themselves. c/w "thirl girl", another term for "flapper" submitted by Bob; guessed by no one

3) Heraldic term meaning recognizable at a long distance and easily remembered. Early design elements such as bars and chevronels were categorized as “honorable ordinaries” if they were “thirlable” submitted by Bethree; guessed by Bob

4) Able to accept multiple layers of ink or passes through a press submitted by Wordmatic; guessed by Asa

5) That may be thirled or pierced; penetrable the real thing; guessed correctly by Jerry

6) Of game: in season; allowed to be hunted submitted by Arnie; guessed by Bethree

7) A milking stool - submitted by Asa; guessed by Wordmatic

8) Adj. capable of being thirled; to be thirled: to experience a peak experience as reported by an incompetent typist who gets no thirl from correcting "typos" submitted by Jerry; guessed by no one
