games

bunkum: gatvol

Man, it's been ages since we've played a game here at the Grit. I think it's time to resume the weekly ritual. Here goes:

  • Post a definition for the made-up word above your comment, or use the word in a sentence.
  • Then leave a made-up word for the next person.
  • Have fun!

Starter word: gatvol (thanks, Anti!)

jabberwacky: medical malpractice

Ready to Jabberwacky?

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours.
  • You can challenge a commenter to explain the connection in their brain when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, please take time to explain it.)
  • I'm writing an extra bullet point of jibberish to see if anyone even bothers to read the instructions anymore!
  • The last word when I close comments will be the starter word next time.


Alrighty then!

Starter phrase: medical malpractice (thanks to Tam)

bunkum: klem

Time for some weekend entertainment. Remember how this works?

  • For the made-up word above yours in the comments, post a definition and/or use the word in a sentence.
  • Then leave a made-up word for the next person. Come back to chime in as often as you’d like!

Starter word: klem (thanks, Heidi!)

jabberwacky: heidi

It's Jabberwacky time! Are you ready?

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours.
  • You can challenge a commenter to explain the connection in their brain when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, please take time to explain it.)
  • The last word when I close comments will be the starter word next time.

Got it? Good. Starter word: Heidi (compliments of The Anti-Blogger)

brownie points

We recently crossed the 10,000 comments mark here at The Grit. Brandy won the competition by posting the coveted 10,000th comment. And oh, what words of wisdom she had to share.

Brandy's prize was a box of baked love from Fat Witch Brownies. From the pictures she sent me, I think she enjoyed them...

What do you think the prize should be for the 20,000th comment?

jabberwacky: beautiful

Since we haven't Jabberwackyed in a while, here's a refresher on how this works.

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours in the comments.

  • Come back and add to the mix as often as you’d like.

  • You can challenge the preceding commenter to explain if you don’t understand the connection they made when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won’t make sense to others, take time to explain it.)

  • The last word when I close comments will be the first word next time.

Starter word: beautiful (compliments of Melissita over at Nature Girl)
