This past weekend we had extended family come in for a beach wedding. Two days later some of them got to come here for a cookout at our house, and a bunch of us played Balderdash afterward. I love this game, where you are given a real but obscure (and sometimes hilarious-sounding) word that each player makes up a definition for, and try to write a definition that sounds realistic enough to get other players to vote for it.
Today I decided to add a Balderdash Bubble to my sidebar for all you readers and fellow wordsmiths. First I went to www.m-w.com which is Miriam Webster. Then I typed in a bunch of letters at random to see what came up. Sometimes nothing came up, but when something I typed ended up being a real word, I looked it up, and made its real definition one of four I put as possible answers. You get to play my game if you want.
Every other day or so I'll change the word. Please vote. Don't use any cheats, no phone-a-friends, mobile shout-outs, or dictionaries allowed. Winners will get their names posted in BOLD LETTERS. Sorry, I'm cheap, not sending any handmade soap or autographed toilet paper to anyone.
Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed company!
I love Balderdash also!
Before the box game came out we played "The Dictionary Game" which was the same idea, but we took turns passing around the dictionary, finding a word nobody knew, made up definitions and included the correct one, then voted! Fun stuff!
