Sep. 26, 2009 - Dictionary -noun, a game

Dictionary is played by one person finding a strange word and writing down the definition. That person then tells everyone else the word and they guess what they think it means by writing it down. The first person then reads all the guesses and votes are taken on what the real answer is. After everyone has voted the true answer is revealed.

Oh yes, I've played this game!! Only we've always called it "Gugenheim," since that's what my dad's family called it when he was growing up (and before). LOL!
