Musth is our new word. Send me the daffynitions via PM.

...might I suggest we put this word on hold until TEITHI has been thoroughly explored...see below

Sorry Asa - I beat you to the punch. I started mine the other day . . .

https://wordcraft.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/4106...041034582#7041034582

At least we know who will be next! Send me your entry!

Oh, foo! I didn't see it! Soooooorrrrrrry.

Asa, slinking away, tail between legs

Is anyone interested in pursuing this word? There musth be someone who will!

Tee-hee. I beat you by one little minute!

Well, of course we are! I have been waiting and waiting to define, daffily, this fun looking word!

Actually, it was 30 seconds!

Great! Faked definition on the way to Asa!

Mine has been sent also.

Six daffynitions delivered via PM so far. Anyone else?

Just thought I'd bring this back up to the top of the page. It was getting a little musthy down where it was.

OK, Hab, I can take a hint! Here are the daffynitions, and the correct one:

1. It's the English word for Edelfäule, the "noble rot" mold that afflicts the Riesling wine grape to such divine gustatory effect.
Froeschlein's daffynition.

2. Camel dung, dried and used as a building material for insulating walls and roofs.
Bob Hale's

3. To keep repeating
arnie, I say, arnie, yes, arnie

4. A paste made of elephant urine and powdered desert shale, used to patch houses in southern India.
Jo's concoction

5. (Middle English) used for cleaning debris or blood from a Knight's sword after battle.
Haberdashed this one off

6. A state or condition of violent, destructive frenzy occurring periodically in bull elephants, accompanied by the secretion of an oily substance from glands located on the head.
Y'all know about this by now!

7. small fibrous fruit, part of the persimmon family.
Caterwauller's

8. A river in Budapest.
Kalleh, up the creek as usual

Lucky 7! Sounds diminutive enough to be just right. After all, if there can be an ugli, surely there can be a musth!

# 4 is just so gross that I musth pick it!

I'll choose 6.

Tinman

If I musth choose, I'll take six

I'll guess 5.

6. for me, please.

Once again, not the first idea. I'll take 7. (Though 6 is the favourite in the betting)

It's 6, and I've got the elephant urges to prove it!

Welcome to the board, H.H . . . umm . . . you have some sort of oil on your head.

Wow! There are a lot of you who know something about horny elephants! Not sure what to make of that...

#6 was the correct answer, but not the whole story. See this article from South Africa. You women will surely be relieved that you're NOT a cow elephant after reading about "GP syndrome" about 3/4 through the article! http://www.und.ac.za/und/lesci/elephant/musth.htm

Who posted what is in the daffynitions above.

Fascinating, Asa! Thanks for the link.

Yeah, thanks, Asa.

Welcome, H.H! And don't let this be your last post, okay?

The devil made me say that!
