HoW to play the Dictionary/Fictionary game

I'm not saying we have to, but suggesting that we might, and it would be an idea to come prepared ... the Dictionary / Fictionary game is similar but simpler/speedier to the Ex Libris game that Gita mentioned.   It's just a matter of choosing an obscure but interesting word from a dictionary and asking for definitions - I can guarantee that hysterical giggling will emanate from me and Gita, with or without alcoholic lubrication. 

So, Be Prepared by making a list of half a dozen words in advance.

My all time, and partially appropriate for this event, favourite was 'mallemaroking'
There were several interesting possible meaning put forward for this by the then participants, and no-one guessed that its true meaning was  'the carousing of seamen in icebound ships'

  3. HA!!!!!!!!! I love this. We'll have to have a snort jar. Every time someone snorts when laughing, he or she will have to put a dollar into the jar.
