> [@Balance](#): > > Guys, I think what **Meeko** was aiming for was the Invisible Idiot riddle format (so named for an apocryphal tale of a translator who rendered “Out of sight, out of mind” as “invisible idiot”). > > It’s a bit like verbal charades–you provide clues that are either equivalent to the target word, or are equivalent to something that _sounds_ like the target word; there can be more than one clue per word. The standard format separates clues that are part of a single word by a comma, with a semicolon between sets of clues for a different word. Generally, you pick a theme for a set of riddles (which you may or may not choose to reveal). In this case the theme is apparently “Memes”, though I’m not familiar with any internet meme that matches **Meeko** ’s clues. > > Here’s an easy example: > > deep guitar, intended; feline The catchphrase of a Meme, As written by the Government [Any Government] had to write a 10 page report about it.

(Hey hey!) Your choice of verbiage and syntax connotes an effeminate quality to your person indicative of non-heteronormative tendencies. Furthermore, a coprological analysis reveals a deficiency of three standard deviations in the contents of your sigmoid colon.
