Warm-Up For The Trivia Contest.

[Randy_]

I wasn't an English major in college; but I don't expect to find words in dime-store mystery books that I don't know!! Therefore, I was quite surprised to run across this word............"maguffin." Turns out it is sort of an obscure word. I had to go to several dictionaries before I found a definition.

If you know what it means....or not.....post a message with yes or no or even hell no!! Please hold off on posting the actual definition for a day or so so we can see how smart/well educated the IAP membership really is?? :biggrin::biggrin:
