Mensa Word Game

The Game Room
1

I got the following forward from my lame marginally computer illiterate aunt who loves chain mail and offensive forwards. It was one of the few that made me chuckle and I thought it would make a good word game for the Dope. I have no idea if the setup for the email is legitimate and I have no idea if Mensa and the Washington Post are in any way actually involved but that’s not really important. Here’s the text of the message and I’ll let it stand on it’s own.

So what new definitions can Dopers come up with?

2

New definitions should be easy, as this thing is as old as the hills and gets recycled now and then. I’ve seen it twice now in the past week.

Carry on . . .

Jerrymander: The process by which guys named Jerry seem to always end up in proximity to each other

Renaisse’ance: A revolutionary period in which contact with the dead is popularized through inexact science. Or, anytime a Ghost Hunters marathon is on the SyFy channel

Metrognome: A consistently regular little person

Irrregardless: An example of extreme apathy towards accuracy

Determimed: Perseverance in the face of invisible obstacles

Erectronic: Electric devices used for the sole purpose of male stimulation

Romeopathy: Alternative practices, usually performed by teenagers, in an attempt to get themselves laid that have no support in science or common sense
