Okay, everybody should realize that when I told Annie her confidence was good, but that everything else in her guess was wrong, that as much as added two more letters to her confidence list, right?
One more thing: consonants and vowels both come in singles and doubles, but there are no triples.

Miserable old git
Patiently waiting for the asteroid with my name on it.
Perhaps a tad bit of definition: I think Annie is probably much more of one than I am. Probably Chris too. And definitely Angela more than Eric (if I may mention people who aren't on this project (oh wait, I think Eric is; he's on a lot of them, at least a little bit)).

Wekk, I wad ... *elevate eyebrows into low earth orbit* Shall I try that again? Yes, why not :)
Well, I was considering posting Deipnoshtipso - a 24 course meal (served with an assortment of 48 varieties of wines etc) indulged in nightly by nobility, oligarchs, bankers, politicians and their party financiers...
but then I thought I wouldn't, due to your tad bit of a definition, so haven't. Instead I will post this:
Deipnosophist - a master of dinner-table conversation.
*re-read David's clue definition*
Indeed I am able to discuss the properties that make a table a table, David, and especially at length. It's by far the safest dining topic. Too often if I veer off-subject, I get sprayed with food and drink by my guests and suffer the occasional panic attack as to whether I'm going to have to try to perform the heimlich manoeuvre on more than one of them simultaneously *traumatised blink* or choose which one I'm going to attempt to save. It's quite a relief when the offending morsel/sip comes shooting out their nose without any need for intervention.
So... Is that the word you're looking for?
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

And that answer shows what I meant about you being much more of one than I.

But don't leave out the width and the height, else it is just a planar lamina*
Stands back in amazement at still remembering schoolboy physics & science. (Blinks in incredulity)
But what's all this rubbish? We never got taught that???

The slug is a unit of mass associated with Imperial units and United States customary units. It is a mass that accelerates by 1 ft/s2 when a force of one pound (lbF) is exerted on it.
We used to put our slugs in air rifles!

Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now

Is that at all related to a slug of whisk(e)y?

Slugs ? What nekulturny you are. Slugs are for eating while seated at these very dining tales you speak of. For these you must come DownUnda :
.... to be exact they are our famed Witchetty Grubs. They taste crap if you must know .... been there, done that, got the tea-shirt and then vomited back up on it.
{ The smiles in the photo are from people who know they will not be eating them. For me I apply the Duck Test : if it looks like a poop-bag, smells like a poop-bag and tastes like a poop-bag then it is a bag of poop. }
Cheers, Mike.

I suppose I shouldn't have counted this...
as number one then...
Yes. Quite obvious now really...
Having started AGAIN ... *flash eyes RUDELY at entire WORLD*
... and on the basis of my findings so far:
1 = D
2 = E
3 = H I N O P
4 = N O P S
5 = N P T
6 = H O
7 = S
8 = H N O P S T
9 = H N O P T
10 = H I N O T
11 = H I N P S
12 = I S
13 = I O T
I am confident of this
-> D E _ _ _ _ S _ _ _ _ _ _
Which has left me wondering, David.
How do you feel about
DepophSnotsii?

RE: I suppose I shouldn't
That is good confidence.
I feel that it has three correct letters.
(And that I don't want to clean it up.)
