The Whack-a-Word game

countessalmirena — Tue, 10 May 2022 13:43:55 GMT

I hope this might prove to be another enjoyable word game on this board.

The idea is this: the starting poster posts a word that represents a weapon (funny, serious, bizarre, whatever the case may be), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the attack. It can be as simple as "Aimed gun."

(If the weapon uses more than one word, it can be hyphenated but needn't be; it should be treated as one word. Ditto for the defence/armour.)

The second poster posts a word that represents a defence/armour to that weapon (again, it can be funny, serious, bizarre, or whatever), and uses that word in a sentence that describes the defence.

The second poster must then also post a weapon that starts with any of the letters in the preceding weapon word EXCEPT for either first or last letter, and use the word in a sentence describing the attack.

The responding poster posts in the same way as the second poster, and so on.

It can be written in the first person ("I raised my sword") or second person ("He/she raised his/her word").

For example:

POSTER 1: JELLY-SWORD: I draw my wobbly jelly-sword from its scabbard and with a "ha!", I lunge forward.

POSTER 2: ELECTION POSTER: I raise my election poster and it deflects the attack.

LICORICE TANK: I get into my licorice tank and drive it forward menacingly.

POSTER 3: etc.

Would anyone like to start?

HOLDEN WHEEL - She somehow managed to hold a Holden wheel in front of herself to deflect the rattling sword.

TIM TAM LACED WITH CYANIDE - Quietly, subtly, she placed a Tim Tam laced with cyanide on the plate…

SACRED MILK - She secretly poured a few drops of sacred milk on the Tim Tam laced with cyanide, thinking they would work as an antidote.

ELECTRIC WELCOME MAT - After studying engineering at the University, he was unable to find a job, so he decided to use his skills to create an electric welcome mat to discourage hawkers.

RUBBER BOOTS - He nullified the effect of the Electric Welcome Mat by wearing his best pair of rubber boots.

SHINY CUT-THROAT MIRROR GLAZE ICING - She was sick of the judges criticising her cakes, so topped them with a beautiful shiny cut-throat mirror glaze icing to silence them for good.

NECK ARMOUR - He put on a thick neck armour and quietly enjoyed some parts of the cake.

VENOMOUS INK PEN - She equipped the beautifully shiny pen with venomous ink that splashed in her estranged boyfriend's face the second the pen touched the paper.

MEDICAL GRADE FACE MASK - Before he picked up the pen, he donned a brand new medical grade face mask and wrote his dissertation with impunity.

SNAPPING ALLIGATOR HANDBAG - Since the area she was visiting was a hotbed of crime, she carried her snapping alligator handbag, which was filled with the severed hands of pickpockets by the time she left.

CRAWLING HAND - Inspired by the movie "The Crawling Hand", the astute pickpocket used a similar device to steal from the infamous snapping alligator handbag and save his own hands.

LIGHTNING ROD UMBRELLA - He equipped the umbrella of his wife with a powerful lightning rod designed to roast the unfaithful one.

RUBBER ADULTERY ONESIE - She donned her sinfully red rubber adultery onesie before picking up her umbrella, and sashayed out into the pouring rain where lightning clawed at the sky and jaggedly forked downwards to strike the opened umbrella, only to dispense its roasting power harmlessly as she was fully earthed.

BRAKE LINE MUNCHING BEETLE - The coldly enraged entomologist placed the unusual brake line munching beetle under the car of his deadly rival for tenure, knowing that once his rival started the car, it would take the beetle only a minute or two to completely severe the brake line so that the brake fluid would pour out and the brakes would fail.

BEETLE TRAP - He went to the supermarket and with a grin on his face he bought some vegetable oil and some vinegar to be placed in a trap under the car to stop the rabid beetle from munching the brake line.

BUCKET OF PIRANHAS - He attached a bucket full of piranhas to the upper hinge of the main door of his enemy's apartment, so that the bucket would tip over and the piranhas (who had deliberately not been fed) would attack his fake friend the second he tried to open the door.

Re: The Whack-a-Word game

INSTANT FREEZE SPRAY - He obtained a can of instant freeze spray so he could freeze the water in which the piranhas were swimming and safely remove the bucket without being attacked.

GIANT CARNIVOROUS PLANT - Inspired by Little Shop of Horrors, he bred a giant carnivorous plant which would devour his interfering mother-in-law the next time she strolled through her carefully kept garden.

SECATEURS OF EXTREME SPEED - Mrs Whittlebottom balanced the fully charged lithium battery-powered secateurs of extreme speed on her handbag as she peeked out into her garden, whereupon the faint quiver of the giant carnivorous plant set the secateurs into instant and manic cutting of said giant carnivorous plant - after which the lady strolled through her garden with a determined expression on her face while she plotted how next to interfere in the life of her son-in-law.

TERRIBLY VIOLENT CRUMBLE - He laughed softly and chillingly to himself as he finalised his newest scientific invention to leave on the desk of his fellow worker (a lady who disagreed with his views on which side of a toilet roll should be facing forwards); it was a bar of what appeared to be a harmless and delicious chocolatey and honeycomby snack, but which actually contained tiny particles trained to hit her digestive track as soon as the Terribly Violent Crumble was eaten, resulting in a lingering and horrible death.

HUMBLE THE CRUMBLE - She sat down on the toilet seat laced with random sunbeams delightfully forcing themselves through the narrow window and extracted the powerful humble-the-crumble antidote pill she had hidden in the rim of her dress, after which she was able to enjoy the chocolate bar and smile.

SUPER GLUE TOOTHPASTE - As her husband kept hurling insults at her and her cooking skills, she put some super glue in his toothpaste, fervently hoping this would silence him for good once the toothbrush touched his yellowing teeth.

Re: The Whack-a-Word game

UNIVERSAL SOLVENT MOUTHWASH - He bent down and retrieved the small bottle of universal solvent mouthwash from the back of the bathroom cupboard. After taking a swig from the bottle, he cheerfully cleaned his teeth for the recommended 2 minutes without any concern for the super glue contained within the toothpaste.

EXPANDING LOLLIPOP - Sick of her little brother stealing from her stash of lollipops, she replaced them with a very tempting expanding lollipop, which would expand quickly once he placed it in his drooling mouth, hopefully permanently filling his entire digestive system so she could once again enjoy her sweets in peace.

SHRINKING SERUM - Once the teenagers were out of the room, mum put the shrinking serum into their breakfast, hoping for a lovely, peaceful day

ICEPICK - He subdued the drunken sot with an icepick to the chest

BEER CAN ARMOURED BREASTPLATE - He fashioned an armoured breastplate from the beer cans he had emptied during his binge drinking session, so the ice pick was deflected from his heart.

SHRILL EARDRUM PIERCING PICCOLO - He played his shrill eardrum piercing piccolo through the neighbours' windows so that they would no longer be able to hear his dog yapping and so stop complaining to the local council.

Re: The Whack-a-Word game

papermoon.lady — Sun, 15 May 2022 01:05:55 GMT

ROBUST EARDRUM DROPS - His neighbours bought some special eardrops from a magic pharmacy only visible after 9 pm and were able to completely shield the noise originating both from the yapping dog and the shrill eardrum piercing piccolo.

ROCKET LADDER - Tired of his brother stealing the best apples from his apple tree, he invented a ladder equipped with a rocket on the last step so that his brother would be sent into space when he reached the top of the ladder to steal his delicious apples.

Re: The Whack-a-Word game

veiled-lady — Sun, 15 May 2022 01:33:03 GMT

APPLE PICKING DRONE - As he was also an inventer, he invented an apple picking drone so he wouldn't have to climb the rocket ladder, but could still eat his brother's apples to his heart's content.

EXPLODING FIREWOOD - The smoke from his neighbour's fire was continuously blowing into his bedroom and causing respiratory problems, so he surreptitiously added some exploding firewood to the wood pile. When placed on the fire, this would completely destroy his neighbour's fireplace and chimney and there would be no more problems with the wayward smoke.

countessalmirena — Tue, 17 May 2022 08:45:29 GMT

FOAMY FIREWOOD SPRAY - Ms Marjorie (the neighbour) recognised the exploding firewood and hurried to her shed where she kept a can of Foamy Firewood Spray; she only needed a few pumps and the white foam completely enveloped and ate away the exploding firewood.

WELCOME MAT OF FOOT-TRAPPING HORROR - Mr Perceval Sneerington, filled with black rage towards the owner of his previous house (which he’d been forced to sell as part of a financial reparation towards the people he’d swindled in a Ponzi scheme), chuckled to himself as he substituted their ordinary mat for his WELCOME MAT OF FOOR-TRAPPING HORROR, envisaging how the new owner would find his feet trapped and dragged up to the porch’s roof so that he would dangle in a slow upside-down death.
