The Old and the New, Take Two

Last week, none of the guessers were anywhere close in deciphering the real definition of the word of the week, balatron. A balatron, dear readers, is a babbling fool. I must confess that when choosing the word, I could not help but think of Don Quixote. After reading the epic over the summer, I'm afraid I will always associate foolishness with that insufferable knight-errant-wannabe.

Anyhow, it's a new week and that means we need a new word. This week, I'll be asking five students to define to the best of their ability the word dactylion. Hopefully, those I ask will not prove to be a bunch of balatrons. Tune in Thursday for the guesses and next Monday for the real definition and new word.
