finally, you might want to investigateWord for Word...

Looks like a good road trip game.

 

I was of course joking, trying to elicit amusing responses of this "dissociation" type that you mention. No one took my bait.

 

As an aside, I wish American television had some of the panel type shows that I've seen from the BBC. I absolutely love QI, and I was also highly amused by "Never Mind the Full Stops," although it seems that perhaps British viewers weren't so amused, as it seems to have run only 5 episodes in 2 years.

 

I think we'd be hard pressed to find a good panel for a show like QI though, unfortunately.

Do such things exist? Examples please.

Umberto Eco wrote a novel about an academic institution called"Institute for dialectic tautology", I think it's where the study stuff like "oval green thoughts that dig profitably over tasty interpolations".

 

But even that could be (almost) meaningful in a suitable context. As mycroft's wikipedia link says, it's surprisingly difficult.
