Ballsdurdash: Game Night at Ben and Allison’s House

The game goes like this: one player looks through the Slang Dictionary and selects a word. They then tell the other players what the word is, and everyone writes down their own definition on a slip of paper. The person who picked the word writes down the actual, real definition. All the slips are turned in, and the person who chose the word has to read all the definitions out loud.

The rest of the night was like this – geeky word games in the dark. We came across such phrases as "Russian High," "Jersey Side of the Snatch Play," "To Open a Keg of Nails" and "Russian Salad Party." Fun times, fun times. :)

Ballsdurdash

I got invited over to Justin’s to play a game of Ballsdurdash. This is a game that my friends made up, involving the Slang Dictionary. Basically it’s like Balderdash, but with a twist. Each round, one person picks a word or phrase from this big Slang Dictionary (a really great book, incidentally) and announces it to everyone. The other players…
