Al_U_Card Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 The name of the game is to take an ordinary noun and change one letter. The "meaning" of the new word can then be humorously described. eg. Comptriller : An accountant who likes to sing bank notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulg Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 The Washington Post asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.Glibido: All talk and no action.Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

G_R__E_G Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 A little typo by Frances in the main area made me think of a new one. "Peempt" - When you can't really decide which level of bid to make so you say "Ah piss on it" and chose one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G_R__E_G Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Sorry folks, the wheels started turning and I feel the need to punish all of you: High Carp Points - A fishy way of evaluating your hand. Funesse - A finesse that makes when you really needed it to. Squeezy - A simple squeeze. Retoke - Illegally playing a card of the wrong suit because you got high (it makes more sense if you're familiar with the song). Lead out of turd - A crappy choice of opening lead. Blockwood - Asking for aces preemptively just to keep the opponents out of the auction. Backlash - What you get from your partner when you mess up this squeeze play. Transfir - Your partner forces you to bid a suit and you've got tree of dem. Okay, I'll stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
