Bluffin' Balderdash ... ["Hello"]

10. The inability to maintain a consistent performance.

 

4. A priest's mistress.

 

I think they call those nuns.

Nah, seriously, my guess is:

6. Bordering countries or provinces.

 

You win best post.

My guess:

2. A device for restraining a person's limbs during torture.

...something about that sounds familiar...

Actually, I had forgotten which def was mine and had to check my sent pm, lol.

 

Very interesting.

And because I'm back (hoorah! ), I'm going to go with:

2. A device for restraining a person's limbs during torture.

 

Wah!! I thought I knew but I don't. However, the choice I want to go with somebody has already taken, but I am choosing it as well because it reminds me of something. I am probably wrong, but whatever .

7)Bricks or tiles.

 

Hmmm. Lot of interesting choices this round. I'll go with....


3. A flowering plant of the family Typhaceae, often found around saltwater marshes.

 

Rogue. And now you can find out why Zebra was laughing so hard.

Those who didn't guess:

DarthBabe (no definition).

Congratulations Rebel_Padawan, for your first points on the board you picked the real meaning! This time neeldawg66 and JediVegeta scored the top number of guessing, but it was still only at two, with a number of others trailing close behind.

Still the guesses are widely spread. Which was unfortunate for most, as if they had followed the first guess of the round, well, you know what they would have received. I also noticed a a number of meanings out of context when compared to the plural form of the word.

[i]The next word will be posted at approximately 11/6 12 a.m. boardtime. Which gives approximately just over a 24 hour break until that time. As you can see, each round will last for 4 days. The break-up of the timing is affected by how quickly players contribute, but there is always a benchmark or cutoff to work from.[/i]

 

Oh dear. Not doing too well, Boogie.

Secondly, just because my guess wasn't plural doesn't mean it couldn't be right. I was thinking of "elevensies" when I made my definition.

Can't wait for the next round!

 

Secondly, just because my guess wasn't plural doesn't mean it couldn't be right. I was thinking of "elevensies" when I made my definition.

Fair enough, and you're quite right. (Except for the spelling of that word. ) I guess what struck me after knowing and seeing the real meaning of the word was the number of people that didn't go down a similar road when writing their own.

 

Your definition made think of elevensies too!

 

Fun round!

My first step is to just read through the list and kick out the definitions that just seem too good to be true, that just ring false.

This last time, the very first definition I kicked out . . . was the real one.

"Secret congregations of blah blah treason . . . oh, yeah, right . . . how lame."

 

That's why everyone hates Balderdash words.

 

I have received confirmation that DarthBabe has officially dropped out of the game, commencing immediately. Because she let me know and it is early in the game, she won't suffer any sort of gameban. She will be removed from the scores from now on. Note: Don't take this as a fact that you can drop out towards the end if you're coming last.

This now means Boogie's coming last.
