Comments

Round One

[dramatispersonae]

Each team must submit three words, along with a definition for each. These must be true and accurate definitions, though you are welcome to reach for obscure meanings or usages. You may want words that not many other people might know, but try not to rely entirely on proper nouns for things exclusive to a specific world.

For example:

Word: lipogram
Definition: a written composition that deliberately avoids using a particular letter of the alphabet

Discuss your options, then have one person comment under the "submit" heading with your three words and definitions.

Well, so far I've had to explain parkour to everyone.

Re: discuss

[silverbulletkun]

If you've explained it already, then that means some people will be able to define it.

Re: discuss

[detectivewonder]

With one or two exceptions, everyone I explained it to is on our team. I think the only one playing here who might know is the girl with the really really long hair, and that was more of a demonstration than a definition.

Round Two

[dramatispersonae]

Each team will get 12 words and be asked to write their own definitions for the words provided. You have 2 hours to complete this (approx. 10 minutes per word, though they will all be given at once; pace yourselves!) You can get points for the most correct definition, but the words will also be voted on later, so you can get points for the most popular.

Please define the following words:

myopic
mordicant
dactylion
monkey
seize
equivocation
chiaroscuro
chromakeying
cavatina
glaze
pokémon
columbiform

Use the format:

...As far as I remember, Pokémon is a pop culture phenomenon. There are a lot of comics, animated series, and video games surrounding it.

Myopic is the adjective form of myopia, which is nearsightedness. Equivocation is the use of ambiguous and misleading language.

You covered some of the easier ones, but as for the rest I either don't know or don't remember their meanings.
