Definitions come from Dictionary.com unless otherwise linked.
We didn't accept it at the time, but...
bey - a provincial governor in the Ottoman Empire
pars - plural form of par
lude (Josh and I were thinking of the word lewd) - slang for Quaalude, a brand of methaqualone. (though I don't remember if Boggle accepts slang)
We know its a word, we don't know what it means...
bevel - the inclination that one line or surface makes with another when not at right angles
bevel - an adjustable instrument for drawing angles or adjusting the surface of work to a particular inclination
parser, so I took a computer programming class and/or must have come along this word somewhere in my computing encounters to have known it was a word, but I am reminded what it means by this wikipedia page: parsing.
parson - a member of the clergy, esp. a Protestant minister; pastor; rector.
parson - the holder or incumbent of a parochial benefice, esp. an Anglican.
Other...
par, we're used to the third sense, but the fourth sense is countable, and there is even an example given:
rud, I didn't submit this word, but apparently its a word, it is a color/pigment - ruddle, red ocher

Round breakdown:
Josh (22) Tim (10)
Josh (3) Tim (10)
Josh (6) Tim (8)
nots: I guess you can pluralize 'not'
This means Josh's ambiguous point in his second round is resolved, so he earned 3 instead of 2.
lade: apparently I didn't make this word up, it has the following definition (Dictionary.com)
–verb (used with object)
1. to put (something) on or in, as a burden, load, or cargo; load.
2. to load oppressively; burden (used chiefly in the passive): laden with many responsibilities.
3. to fill or cover abundantly (used chiefly in the passive): trees laden with fruit; a man laden with honors.
4. to lift or throw in or out, as a fluid, with a ladle or other utensil.
–verb (used without object)
5. to take on a load.
6. to lade a liquid.
ley: apparently I didn't make this word up, it's an alternate word for lea, a grassland or meadow
Gus: dictionary.com didn't have any results for 'gus' but it lists 'Gus' as a "a male given name, form of Augustus or Gustave." As such, it wouldn't count in boggle
gussy: this, however, is a word (Dictionary.com)
–verb (used with object)
1. to enhance the attractiveness of in a gimmicky, showy manner (usually fol. by up): a room gussied up with mirrors and lights.
–verb (used without object)
2. to dress in one's best clothes (usually fol. by up): to gussy up for the ball.
Even with ley and lade, I would have been one behind. And its only fair I only get 28 points, because I didn't know the words at the time, and so I wasn't able to defend them as valid answers.
