Read, Mean, and Leave a "Saying or Idiom" Game

PaintedDiary · 07-28-2006, 10:07 PM

In this game, one will read the "Saying or Idiom", and write a few words or a sentence as to what it means, then write a "Saying or Idiom" for the next person to figure out its meaning.

A "Saying" is self explanatory, and an "Idiom" is basically a saying whose meanings can't be understood from the individual words in them. Examples are as follows:

Saying-Drop In The Bucket, which means, an amount that doesn't matter.

Idiom-Greek To Me, which means, something too difficult to understand.

Soooo.....One will "READ" the "Saying" or "Idiom", write a simple sentence, explaining what the saying or idiom "MEANS", then "LEAVE" a saying or idiom for the next person.

The Game should prove to be very interesting, especially when the sayings and idioms are from such a "Diverse Community". We may learn something new also. OK, then I will start.
