Here are the daffynitions, and the real one:

1: The bed of a dried-up lake or river

Arnie's daffynition, which left Tinman all wet.

2: A spotted snake, found in Central America, Mexico and the southwestern part of the United States, that is large, but harmless.

Kellah's.

3: a small, very hot pepper grown only near the equator, which fooled Kalleh, whom I may not make fun of - but it's sooooooo tempting!

4: Cuban term of endearment, meaning "beloved brown-skinned girl"

Haberdasher's.

5: A dessert consisting of mixed exotic fruits in a light lemon pastry.

Bob Hale's.

6: A microbial lifeform found in the coastal and inland waters of equatorial east Africa. Unlike guardia, which causes severe digestive disorders, guajira is found to be beneficial in the treatment of skin conditions common to the area. Attempts are being made to synthesize guajira for treatment of acne, scabies, and several other skin tissue disorders.

Jo didn't fool anyone, but sure gave me a case of the creeps with this one!

7: A Cuban dance, or, literally, a peasant woman.

As most of you know, the real one.

8: A large, but relatively non-toxic, odiferous black scorpion. Often confused with the vinegaroon, but with a pronounced stinger.

One I threw in just to add to the mix.

OK, anyone else have a word - that we DON'T know!?!?!?
