Acrostic Game

Sun Sep 20, 2009 2:15 am

The rules are simple. Take the last word of the previous answer, and define it using words that begin with the letters of that word in order -- and only the letters of that word -- so that you can spell out the word by the first letters of your definition (the goal is to come up with a phrase or sentence that makes sense, with imaginary bonus points if it's funny). I'll start off with the word "pinkpt."

PINKPT: Partaking in Neopets, kinship, play, talk

New word: Talk

Nevermind: No, even verily enunciated, regard my implication not dependable.

Technically speaking, that was two words, Blue! Now try your hand at dependable.

P.S. I would totally say this instead of "never mind" if I could remember it... and my friends are dorky enough they would pick it up, too.

Just saw the 2 definitions of nevermind... somehow I managed to get both into my sentence without knowing either. Cool.

Umbrellas: upright machines block radiantly emitted luminous light -- and showers.

Don't forget that you're trying to get the sense of the word in these sentences, if at all possible (not directed at anyone in particular).

Next word: Showers.
