    Now that I look at it, my word is. Grenadier is too low. Gourmand is eligible.

    The way I understand the rules, at this point Jentleness has won or it's somewhere between gourmand and greige.

    Lol I wish it were that easy (it is hard to read blackmage_nuke's mind)! However, I do agree that Gourmand does come after Godsend and before Greige.

    Goyim -n,pl- plural form of the word goy. 1) A non-Jew; can be used as a disparaging term for one who is not a Jew 2) A Jew who is ignorant of the Jewish religion

    I really doubt that's it, but it will help narrow things up a bit.
