pompom ? (bikeman)
ponies 3 (carson)
pollex 3 (kentn)
bikeman - my dictionary shows pom-pom hyphenated. And according to ~rcurl/
lettermatch.rules:
Proper names, abbreviations, and punctuation marks (e.g., contractions),
are not allowed.
I should therefore not score your proffering. If your source shows an
unhyphenated pompom, just tell me, I'll believe you, and score it.
Meanwhile, my attempt at humor:
Main Entry: pollex Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural pollices
Etymology: New Latin pollic-, pollex, from Latin, thumb, big toe
Date: circa 1836 : the first digit of the forelimb : THUMB
So I wonder the if "policies" are "rules of thumb" ? ;-)
