Pick an interesting /unusual word.
It can either be totally made up by you or one you know/have found on the net. Supply the word's definition alongside.
You can pick as many words as you like.
Guessers: You obv have to guess whether the word is real or just made up. No googling for this bit.
SCORING
------------
: -Guessing Correctly: 1 point
Guessing incorrectly: -1 point
If someone guesses your word's (non/)genuineness incorrectly, you gain 2 points. No score if they guess correctly.
Best scorer gets to choose the avatar and sig of the worst scorer, for 2 weeks.

My problem here is that all words are made up. All words are also real as soon as they are used for the first time. How many points do I get? |

Good point, your Emmonance made up how many points do I get? Quite clearly not made up - it's the degree to which you resemble Slim Shady. |
