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.

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! Wink

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." Smile

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.

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.

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