BTW: In case you are wondering how I decide the display order for the definitions: I put them in an Excel spreadsheet and then sort them alphabetically. So do not try to guess any meaning (any significant meaning, anyway) into the definition's number.

So everyone's thinking milk, Muslims and food, huh?
I'll go with the elephant trap.

Oh! I wanna play!
Five
Because I first thought it would be One, and then decided middle-eastern wouldn't have curry in it, so I went to Five as the nearest thing. Pure reason.

Hmmm. Any Middle Eastern restaurant I ever went to used a lot of curry in their recipes. And every Middle Eastern cab-driver I've ever had used curry as deoderant.
:fire:
Sorry. Forgive me, I don't mean it. I stole the cab driver thing from my favorite commedian  |

When you are deciding which definition to vote for you'd only want to vote for your own if you were trying to lead the lemmings to your answer. The more people who vote for your definition, the better. However, when you vote for yourself you loose the opportunity to vote for the correct answer. The list of definitions will always include the correct answer provided by BALDERDASH.
If you think you know the correct meaning of the word then you should try to write a definition that will fool the other players, and then you vote for the real BALDERDASH answer.
