Vocabulary Game Mark II (funner than before)

Ivas · 12-16-2011, 09:19 PM

Welcome to the new, better, easier, more fun version of the former vocab game. This time, the rules streamline the game and keep it in the fun zone.

The word chooser picks a word from his memory (no looking up anything).
The word cannot be more than eight letters in length. It must clearly be in English, non-technical and within the experience of everyday folks, no intellectual double-talk is allowed.

The player defines the word the best they can (again, without looking up anything; we're on our honor here). If the poster of the original word doesn't object, the defining player selects the next word.

If any player thinks that the word chooser is abusing these rules, he/she can say so. If another player agrees with the complaint, then the offending word is dropped, and the complaining player may then restart the chain of words as they wish.

Also, if the player fails to select a new word when he should have, the next player then selects the new word.

Here, I'll begin: "sword".

A long sharp object used to kill or stab or slash. Made of metals like bronze or iron or steel.

You didn't choose a word for the next person.

This oversight has now been covered in the "Rules for Game". See above.

Although you, Shardik2SS, truly have the right to select the next word, the new rule is being applied ex post facto, let's restart now.

New word: "runt".

C'mon y'all, you've never heard of "the runt of a litter" bein' the scrawny puppy amongst newborns?

Fine and good, let's try again.

New word: "lard".

It means more fun (in the illiterate vernacular).

I takes 'em where I finds 'em.

New word: "husk".

BowtieBelle · 12-19-2011, 12:01 PM

A husk is a type of shell or outer covering that generally refers to organic matter-- IE a corn husk, the green stuff you peel off an ear of corn before you can eat it.

Next word: succinct

To the point in very few words. On the money

prefix "infra"

midnighter · 12-19-2011, 01:04 PM

No

f5journal · 12-19-2011, 01:13 PM

Nope...more like within, part of a bigger picture.

An airport, bridge or freeway is part of a cities' "infrastructure"

f5journal · 12-19-2011, 01:13 PM
