Balderdash

I just finished playing a game of Balderdash with some really good friends. I seriously haven't laughed that hard in far too long. I think it is necessary that some of the definitions be published here so that I don't forget them (* = correct definition):

fadge:
  1. a Shakesperean expression meaning "turn out" as in "how will this fadge?"
  2. goat entrails
  3. a disease symptomatic of lesions and boils that form in the arm and elbow pits
  4. what one says when all of their creative powers have left them

asanka:
  1. the title given to the second-highest ranked sumo wrestler
  2. * one followed by 45 zeros: a Buddhist type of counting
  3. a vietnamese wine, with a hint of bamboo
  4. the cloud of dust that rises when you flop down onto an old couch

abigeus:
  1. * one who steals cows to make a living
  2. a decorative headpiece worn by a show pony
  3. any leftovers that taste better than the original meal

noddlethatcher:
  1. a fruitless vine
  2. one who is obsessed with buttons and zippers

pannychous:
  1. * anyone or anything that lasts all night

juffle:
  1. * to shuffle about in sloppy old shoes
  2. the exclamation of surprise at finding something
  3. a disagreement resulting in mussed up hair and sometimes ripped shirts
  4. to put out a match by a shake or wag of the arm
  5. to have one's mustache blown by the wind

Perhaps you don't find these all that funny...I don't care, they were at the time and that's all that's important. In conclusion, you should play Balderdash more often.

And by the way, I won.

I would most certainly refer to myself as an abigeus.

I had a good laugh, thanks for sharing. I especially like the moustache one - was that your fine work?
