There's a bimbo who's living in Oxter Who insisted I fight, so I boxter. She took such delight In our wrestling fight, She disrobed, thereby making my rockster. | ||

did you mean to capitalize the word, Kalleh? | |||

Ignore my capping of the word in the limerick. I assume it's a common noun for the Bluffing Game. | ||

I meant to confuse people, Bethree. That was definitely planned! I've gotten some good ones, but how about a few more? I'll post the results this weekend. | |||

I almost forgot about this! One more request - and I'll post the answers tomorrow (or thereabouts). | |||

I guess it's "thereabouts." Here we go: 1)The ancestral home of Cuthbert Binns, the ghostly professor in Harry Potter. 2) The underside of the upper arm or the fold of the arm when bent against the body 3) A medieval meat pie 4) Ancient term for a cattle stall 5) Turned to the right 6) A resident of Oxnard, California 7) A bovine herdsman 8) A contributor to the OED 9) A long overcoat 10) A conclusion arrived at through reasoning 11) A(usually young) person in training to become a groom Which will you pick? | |||

I believe it's number five, an ancient term referring to the early Republican party, which turned to the right. | ||

No idea. #9? | |||

Number 2 for me, please. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

How about a couple more guesses, and then I'll put this baby to bed! | |||

As usual, arnie is our big winner! Congrats, arnie. Don't spend it (your award money) in one place, as my mother used to say. I actually liked this game, however, because so many people selected different answers. That's always fun. 1)The ancestral home of Cuthbert Binns, the ghostly professor in Harry Potter - Proof's (of course!); snookered Bethree. 2) The underside of the upper arm or the fold of the arm when bent against the body - the real thing; guessed by arnie 3) A medieval meat pie - Proof's daffy; no takers 4) Ancient term for a cattle stall - Proof's daffy; no takers 5) Turned to the right - Yours truly fooled Proof 6) A resident of Oxnard, California - Geoff's daffy; no takers 7) A bovine herdsman - Geoff's daffy; no takers 8) A contributor to the OED - Geoff's daffy; no takers 9) A long overcoat - arnie's daffy; spoofed Geoff 10) A conclusion arrived at through reasoning 11) A(usually young) person in training to become a groom - arnie's daffy; caught Bob | |||

A better definition of oxter is armpit. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. | |||

Yes, arnie, though I thought armpit may have been too easy. Here was my source - it is one of the meanings. | |||
