I was able to attend the Lock In held by the CSF (Christian Student Fellowship) group at school and it was awesome! We played a very long and fun game of Balderdash that resulted in some serious cases of the giggles and the occasional side-splitting laughter. I was in tears at one point.
For those who don't know what the game is, the judge picks a card from the box and decides which word they want to use. They then tell the group what the word is and they write it down on their word card. Each person then attempts to write a convincing definition for the word and hands in the card to the judge. The judge also writes down the actual definition down and shuffles it into the other cards. The cards are then read by the judge out loud and the group votes on which definition they think is correct. Or, when you get to the end and are feeling pretty silly, the funniest one.
I keep the cards from one round that was particularly hilarious. Keep in mind that all of us are nerds and there were a few Philosophy majors...
The word was Pickelhaube.
Pickelhaube: A prime cut of manflesh favored by the French.
Pickelhaube: The poor unfortunate soul who has to clean up after a food fight.
Pickelhaube: Jibberish term used to ask a person, "Where is my cheese?" or "Do you know the way to my boat?" depending on the pronounciation.
Pickelhaube: Regardless of the meaning of the word, I perceive this answer to be correct. As perception is knowledge, David O'Neal is compelled to vote for this answer.
Pickelhaube: A helmet with a spike on the top of it.
Pickelhaube: The German word for the winner of the Pickle Eating Contest.
Pickelhaube: The kind of friend who drops french onion dip in your water cup.
Pickelhaube: A radical politician.
Pickelhaube: I'll pickle your hob.
Can you guess the real definition? Put it in the comments and I'll e-mail you whether or not you guessed correctly. And no cheating by looking it up!
