Dictionary treasure hunt
Comment: I have both the first edition (1966) and the second edition (1980's) of
the unabridged Random House Dictionary. I like to frustrate my friends by asking them to look up "four-a-cat". It takes you on a treasure hunt: four-a-cat: See four old cat. four old cat: three old cat played with four batters. (So what's three old cat?) three old cat: three-a-cat. three-a-cat: two-a-cat played with three bases and three batters. two-a-cat: see two old cat. two old cat: one old cat played with two batters. one old cat: a greatly modified form of baseball in which there is a home plate and one other base, and in which a player remains at bat and scores runs by hitting the ball and running to the base and back without being put out. Also, one o' cat, one-a-cat.
