A fun game of mistaken identity

mac 2016-09-08 01:57:42 UTC #1

not literal identities of course, we're only dealing with words here,,, but i figured id share a fun forum game

so basically theres a word that someone defines and its obviously for something else, but then someone replies to them saying that the definer is thinking of another word, and defines it "correctly", but THAT person is defining a completely separate word, and then a new person comes and does the same thing, i feel like this would be something that wouldnt die out that fast, and we'll all indirectly learn new vocab words! the best of both worlds in my opinion :-0

here, i'll start!!

tapastic? isnt that a form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes as a form of percussion?

Do you mean Tap-dancing?
Hope I got it right. Not sure how it's played...

afterwards you would define the word i said, but with a wrong definition of your own!! ((i knew my explanation was shoddy :-p

Jrej 2016-09-08 02:13:34 UTC #4

all right!
Percussion: a food made from milk, that can be either firm or soft and is usually yellow or white in colour

That would be cheese.

Wife: a device that likes to tell you where to drive, how to drive there, and calculate how quickly it will take. Often interrupts whatever music is playing in the car.

aaa the word youre defining should be similar to the word that the previous person defined (man, im so bad at explaining things,, but im flexible!!))
((similar like, same starting letter or sounds similar)

i think youre talking about wifi??? a wife is a sharp object used to cut things! :-0

I see, but if we're talking about figurative language your definition works pretty well already. jk

I think you're thinking of knife.

A bike is a cloth object often in the shape of a diamond that one flys on a windy day.

That's a pike. A bike is a an architectural structure that holds back water, right?

dragonfly_kites 2016-09-08 02:45:12 UTC #11

No no no that's a dike
A bike is a location that construction happens on.

mac 2016-09-08 02:46:16 UTC #12

no, i think u may be talking about a dam...
a bike is one of those shoes with the swoop design on them

dragonfly_kites 2016-09-08 02:51:32 UTC #13

I'm pretty sure that's a Nike

A bike is when two or more people get into a physical altercation with one another.

(Also mine was site like construction site not dam)

(ye i kno, i was replying to strontiums :-0 but i see now its less than obvious!)

a bike is an undead creature :-0!!!

dragonfly_kites 2016-09-08 03:01:22 UTC #15

(Oh sorry!)
I do believe that is actually a wight.
A bike is actually just a very young child.

Strontium 2016-09-08 03:03:59 UTC #16

(Yeah dike is a less known synonym for dam. Sorry! It was the first rhyming word I thought of)

mac 2016-09-08 03:04:03 UTC #17

a tyke seems to be what youre thinking of...
a bike, on the other hand is a contraption that you speak into! usually on a stage and to an audience

mac 2016-09-08 03:05:13 UTC #18

(yeah i desperately googled "architectural structures that held back water" but ive been made aware of dikes b4)

dragonfly_kites 2016-09-08 03:08:47 UTC #19

Isn't that a mike?

A bike is when many fighter jets drop bombs on a target.
