petaj Is this the opposite of balderdashaster? Have you played Balderdash - it's the opposite of verbotomy - players make up definitions. - petaj, 2007-03-28: 05:48:00

there are some who say making up definitions is also part of verbotomy :-) - Alchemist, 2007-03-28: 07:42:00

I thought Balderdash was a Flemish head-shaving race. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-28: 08:06:00

I thought "balderdash" was a euphemism (think poppycock), or that old Nintendo game based on the joys of mining. - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-28: 09:25:00

^^ That's probably why the make-up-definitions game is called Balderdash. - Discoveria, 2007-03-28: 13:05:00

Give the detective a medal. Two medals. Next we'll be told how "boulder" is the pun in the Nintendo game... - Bulletchewer, 2007-03-28: 17:56:00
