I would vote 5 if the word was "Sarabaiteme"

but for real, I'll go with number 2.

I'll go with #4. Although I must say that #3 would work perfectly as baite for this Sara.

Sara
Awaiting the answer with baited breath

OK - I have no idea, but it seems that if it were 6, than I would have heard of this word. This would show ignorance, and since I'm holding at a score of 0, ignorance seems appropriate.

My answer - 6

I will go with seven and note my increasing embarrassment that, thus far, I have had to guess at all of these definitions.

And to think that, as a kid, I was teased mercilessly as 'the weirdo who reads the dictionary.' Obviously, not enough.

I'll take five. Whoever wrote that one deserves a vote.

Since I have no idea, I'll go with 2 since no one has picked it yet. If it's 3, I hope whoever wins will share!
