Summary
This game is all about inventing definitions for words that are completely made up or nonsensical. The key is to deliver them with rock-solid, confident authority, as if they're absolute fact. The laughs come from that contrast between your assured delivery and the sheer absurdity of the "definitions" tumbling out. It nudges you to commit fully to your ideas and say them with conviction.
How to Play
- Get hold of a made-up or nonsensical word.
- One or more of you confidently offer up a definition for it.
- The definition should be totally invented, pure baloney, balderdash, and all that.
- And deliver it with an air of confident authority.
Required Materials
- You'll need some made-up words, which can come from a host, the audience, or you players yourselves.
