$2.99 Entertainment

We found the game Balderdash a few years ago at Goodwill ($2.99) and recently decided to give it a try with the kids thinking they might be old enough for it. It was amusing at times, impressive at other times (they fooled me more than once!), and overall a good entertainment investment. Some of the most memorable definitions made up by various family members were the following:

whisternefet - to let one fly at the dinner table
skimmington - the lovely town where they go skimming

calipee - to urinate in California

grimalkin - a legend in which there is a giant named Grimalkin

Macula - the dorky cousin of Dracula

pipsissewa - gome (she just made up a word!)
funkify - to bully by sticking one's face in the trash can
nictitate - the joy a wife gets from scrubbing the streaks out of her husband's underwear

hoitzitzillin- to stick one's finger so far up one's nose so as to touch one's brain

hodad - a couch that has been gassed on so many times that a distinctive plume of odor is released when it is sat upon

lycanthropy - the unique ability of the digestive system to sort feces according to vegetables [which skill Eden seems to have...she ate a soup with mixed vegetables and the following day had three poopy diapers, one with corn, one with carrots and one with peas! TMI, I know]

Tringle - a person who typically walks nude from the bathroom to the bedroom after a shower, an who has a firm set of buttocks [changed from the previous, less flattering definition, if you were so fortunate as to have read it before I changed it].

I love my family...Tringles and all!
