    Okay, so I thought you would have the decency towards your fellow players to play fair, and not look up the definition of the word that I was using, but I guess I was wrong. I think you will find that this word won't be showing up at Dictionary.com. Please send me your own guesses this time.


    [b]Petration[/b][hr]


    48 hours.

    Answer sent.

    (and now that we're not using "furfural" anymore, that means I"ll be digging through my pile of chem. notes to figure out exactly where I've heard that before...hopefully, it'll help the studying for the AP next week :))

    You know, during the previous games, the dictionary answer never was the right one. Thought that was somewhat the whole point of it, that they seemed to be made-up words. Are you using a different Balderdash than the previous game? [face_thinking]

    During the previous Balderdash, there was no dictionary answer, since Tyi made them all up(or so distorted the original word that they became something like the real word, but not quite, so even if they did have the original word's definition, you would have no way of knowing, since it would not be the same word). I am using Balderdash words, or I was, when I thought people might not simply type them into Google or a dictionary. Now I shall have to alter them a bit.

    This is Balderdash, where the point is to make up your own answers, unless you do happen to know the word, and, off the top of their heads, I have never played Balderdash with anyone who has, not to take one from the dictionary.

    Ah, okay, I get it now. Having only played the previous version of Balderdash on here before, I thought the dictionary answers were supposed to be the obviously wrong ones. Like Nebuchadnezzar turning out to be a champagne bottle rather than a king. :p

    Well that's not entirely true. I know Tyi used a word that someone definitely knew the definition of at least once. I can't remember which word it was though.

    Well, Nebuchadnezzar (the wine bottle), was a word I learned during an enology class. We were learning about wine bottles, shapes and so on.

    .don't know why I didn't pick it, though. Meh.

    The word was:


    [b]Petration[/b][hr]


    The definitions are:

    1. The actual name for the tray area of many DVD and CD players.

    2. Being in a state of livid fear.

    3. Perfection or completion of something.

    4. A state in which someone is frozen in fear.

    5. An act of smudging something to distort the image.

    6. Having a blunt object purposely inserted in a body, so that it causes pain.

    7. The act of reverting back to childhood because of a traumatic experience.

    8. Biological term for regeneration in some types of arachnids.

    9. A chemical procedure used to determine the concentration of a base or acid.

    10. Units of measuring pet foods.

    48 hours to guess.

    Almost forgot:

    TLI ineligible to guess.
