Secret Number 2ish of a Pilot's Wife: Laugh - SPW's Balderdash Word of the Week -

Secret Number 2is of a Pilot's Wife: Laugh a lot

Here is one way:

James and I love to play the game Balderdash with a couple of close friends and a couple of good bottles of wine. It always becomes a big laugh-fest with each person trying to come up with the most purvey answer. It breaks James out of his shell, and gets us laughing together again despite all the heavy stuff we have over us(bills, parenthood, miscarriages, etc)


Here is how the game works (the basics):
Each player takes turns drawing a card (of a large deck) with 5 words on it (they are all words that the average person has never heard or used in everyday vocabulary). They read one of the 5 words aloud and the other players write out a fake definition – the reader writes out the real definition. The reader then collects all the definitions and reads them all aloud, while each player tries to guess the actual definition.

Now the fact that alcohol only lessens our cares towards winning, and turns our thoughts towards simple minded perverted humour makes the game hilarious.

Here are some great examples of definitions created by friends:

Actual Definition for Spandogs: A pair of grappling dogs for hoisting logs and timber.
Now according to Ashley
Spandogs: Spandex, for dogs

Actual Definition for Assart: The act of grubbing up trees and bushes, and destroying coverts of a forest
Now according to Tiffany:
Assart – Art, made by ones ass

Actual Definition for Gimbals: A contrivance, consisting of a ring or base on an axis, that permits an object, as a ship's compass, mounted in or on it to tilt freely in any direction, in effect suspending the object so that it will remain horizontal even when its support is tipped.
Now According to James:
Gimbals - Balls, belonging to Jim.

Ahhh Balderdash...We could play our own version here...How do you think that would work???


SPW's Balderdash Word of the Week

SO I will post a word. Do not look it up, do not try to 'find' the definition. That will ruin the fun. Simply post a plausible definition to the word.

Next week I will post my favorite made up answer and the real definition.

Ready for the word?? Here it is.
Flarting (pronounced FLART-ing)
