Continued from another thread. Jerry has a headache and so rather than make it worse, we'll play the game here on this thread.

Online Ballderdash.

Now, you have to "imagine" that we are all sitting in the same room and playing the game. NO CHEATING. Cheating would be looking up the answer, via online, dictionary, whatever. You read the question, and then choose the best answer. Again, no cheating!!!!

So, I am going to type a word, and then give 3 possible definitions. Choose which definition you think fits with the word...NO CHEATING by looking up the word.

quay

1. denoting the standard keyboard on English-language typewriters, word processors, etc.

2. fume obtained from a strongly scented E. Indian plant.

3. solid, stationary, artificial landing place for loading and unloading ships.

I'm guessing answer 3!

She got it and posted:

Ok...plenipotentiary

1. a talented student
2. a diplomatic agent
3. one who reaches their partial potential

I guessed wrong...Christine got it, number 2. a diplomatic agent.

Christine, your turn!

I think Christine checked out for awhile so I'm going to take a stab at it:

cynanthropy

1) Disease in which one believes they are a grasshopper
2)Madness in which a person thinks they are a dog
3)A basin used to store holy water

this is really hard not being able to just google these...lol!

number 1?

heehee, no, I put that one in just for you!

[GONG]...dang...I am 0-2...I thought it might be it and you were trying to trick me! lol! OK, where is professor Tribs smarty pants??? I did google it AFTER I posted though...lol!

I'm back (had to go eat something) and I am guessing it is number 3?

I think it's number 2.

I was out for awhile. I'll try to come up with one soon.
;-)

Esplanade - noun.
1. Flat grass area used as a promenade
2. Spanish fruit drink
3. Fruit tree trained to a wall

(This one is a bit tricky.)

#1 I know this one. It is also the name for the riverside park in Boston where the Boston Pops plays for July 4th.

hetrodyne

1) Another name for straight swinger's party.
2) Rapid changing of frequencies of an electromagnetic source.
3) The name for the variable transmission in a hybrid drive system.

Oops I forgot again.

While a big part of me wants to say #1, I'm going for #2

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.

HURRAY!!!

Codology

1) joke, untrue talk, nonsense
2) study of large Pacific fish
3) study of codes and code-breaking techniques

OK, I'm going to try to break my losing streak. I really want to say number 3, I know, it seems obvious...and I will probably be wrong again!

Sorry Grasshopper you must continue your losing streak. :-(

[GONG] 0-3 I knew it could not have been that obvious! lol!

It's ok GH. I only knew quay because I have eaten at The Quay in the Keys.

IT'S JUST A JOKE!

Well, I made it EASY for you Jerry by knocking one of the 3 out...your turn...

Tribs, I really thought I had a good one, been around boats my whole life and never heard of a "quay" pronounced "kee" "kay"

Jerry - VERY good and yes, I have to agree with QG - she helped you - LOL!

Jerry - you're up :-)
