We had a rather memorable game of Balderdash with our College and Career group, tonight, and will forever remember mostly our own fake definitions. Some included, one who enjoys the smell of their own feet, a swarm of paranoid flies, and a runt albino piglet.
See if you can choose the correct word/definition choice:
A.) Messuage : a legendary 16th century winged beast who preyed on the bodies of naughty children
B.) Scaphism - Execution by honey
C.) Sarpler - final bodybag stitch thrust through a sailors nose before going overboard
D.) Parritch - A perch for a parrot
No peeking, and no looking on the Internet, either.
The answer is:
B.) Scaphism - Execution by honey
Apparently it's one of the worst ways to die. Enjoy Wikipedia's groutesque explanation of this ancient torture/death. I guess sweets can be the death of you, after all.
