Word: Sfik
Reader	Definition 	Correct Answer	Chosen Answer	Notes
Kelly 	This is from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and it is a word for giving birth from an alien race called the Flaybooz and in this particular species it is only the male that reproduces and they can carry up to 50 baby flayboozes in this pouch they have in the front but usual they don’t have 50 in there, usually it’s two or three, because they got everyday carry that has to go in there as well. So by the time you add a Leatherman, and a wallet and a phone and a few other things you don’t end up having– they never end up having room for all 50. Sfik is the word for when they give birth.	 	 	
Glenn 	Sfik is a concept from an interconnect set of novels in one universe that combines something like losing face and authority and ferociousness. One species in this universe experiences or counts sfik and it’s a particularly nasty one because unlike losing face where you are personally embarrassed if you lose sfik, if your sfik is low then you are very likely to be killed by your followers (just like happens on Twitter) 	X 	X 	From C.J. Cherryh’s Chanur books
Liz 	It is a Gowachin marriage rite in Frank Herbert’s novel The Dosadi Experiment from 1977.

Perhaps you’ve heard of the Caledonian Gambit, Dan Moren’s debut novel. But this is about some books that are confusingly similar in title. We’ve invented some book titles and we’ve got plots. From those plots, guess the book title that sounds like the Caledonian Gambit.
For example: perhaps you’ve heard of the new book in the Shakespearean extended universe about a Danish prince who ends up in south-east Asia, The Cambodian Hamlet.
