Moving right along, then, on the assumption that High Water was correct, how about GIGA-ZANDER ...lots of nice daffynitions one could make for that one.

Did you mean scantiness? It does go with the theme of the last four words. I'll forego the canonical HATRED and THREAD and RED HAT, also along those lines.
Your SANS INSECT reminded me of the close-but-not-really ANTIC TESS with her bewitching rhythms - those d'Urbervilles were always up to something!
