I think you are right Laurelindhe ilmarin. Also "shipshape" is acceptable as one word. It is in my dictionary and if you check it in the P-T spellchecker, it is a valid spelling.
Note: At Tommie's request, I'll be taking over facilitating this game, when she leaves for Minsk on Wednesday.

Ornament?
Nope, this is a hard one, it is from Middle English.
It wouldn't be a ring, would it? 
No, I think if you were to look up the definition of "ring", you would get a completly different definition from mine above which I copied out of a dictionary.
I'll give a hint: It starts with g.

Well, change fits, but I doubt if that's what you were looking for.

New word: The lowest classification of mental deficiency. Like having the IQ of a two year old.
Although alot of names come to mind (mainly people I've encountered over the years) , I am guessing the word to be idiot?

Majority?
Yes it is Rockhat; you as well as the rest of our recent winners get one of Tommies infamous Wooly Gems. (I still think they are a cross-breed between a dust-bunny and a wet lemon drop and that this coupling takes place under her bed, though I may be mis-informed.)
So, what word means: "a little piece of stiff wire with a pointed end and a flattened or rounded head, for fastening things together."
