Okay, here’s how it goes. I bet some of you have played this before anyhow. You think of two words that rhyme, say, “Melon Felon”. The clue is, “Cantaloupe Thief”. That’s a Hinkey-Pinkey. Or you could do a Hink-Pink. The clue is: “Angry Prostitute”. Answer is, “Sore Whore”. I guess you could do a Hinkety-Pinkety too but I can’t think of any. So, one person give the clue and the next person give the answer. You’ll say, “This is a hinkey-pinkey, etc.” (so we know the number of syllables), then give the clue. Or maybe I’m just a doofus and nobody will play. :o What can I say, I’m bored and lookin’ to get into some mischief!! ---
