They left out wise-***. I like the hyphenated version.
I can't believe they put wisenheimer in the Webster. Oh, and shouldn't the "I" be before the "E"? As in wisenhiemer. You know, I before E, except after C?

Or when sounded as "A" as in neighbor and weigh.
Maybe because it's a German language suffix?

Unless that's a misprint and should be "a showy
truffle ", I think Russ's example follows definition 1..

Make the check payable to Russ.
PM him for the mailing address.
OR:
In lieu of that, you could send the 20 to FTE and get the supporter badge
