The Game: Balderdash…ish.
The Rules: Pick the definition that goes with the vocab word. If you don’t think it’s one of those choices, tell me what you think the definition is (that’s what the D space is for!) You all have until 5pm on Monday, 10/27 to submit your answers. Either leave a comment or email me at sarniclew@gmail.com to let me know your answers.
Scoring: If you pick the right definition or I think your made-up definition is funnier, you get a point. The person with the most points at the end of the game wins. And yes, this is all very subjective.
The Prize: Yes, you'll get one. Is your interest piqued?
Cheating: Don’t do it. If you cheat, I won’t know, but God will. And I can’t throw lightening bolts, but He can. So don’t cheat.
Disclaimer: This is a nerdy game. That's because I'm a nerd. Furthermore, I could try and be funny but I'm not altogether that humorous and believe me, it would suck more. So enjoy this for the dorky game that it is and good luck!

lacuna = D. a partial line from the spanish version of disney's Acuna matata. But actually A I believe from lake???

lout = C. why not? D. John McCain
puissant = D. "piss ant" after having a tooth numbed. I'm going to go C though cause it reminds me of the rhetorical method of using a succession of "P" words to express power.
