Defamiliarization

Post by PkmnQ » February 18th, 2020, 6:58 am

Defamiliarize a word, then the next person tries to guess it, and if they get it right, they’re the next one to defamiliarize a word.

Example:
NotARealUser55: Protected premature replications of creatures
Imnotreal: Are those cells?
NotARealUser55: No
+guywhodoesnotexist+: Eggs.
NotARealUser55: Yes
+guywhodoesnotexist+: Ok. Self-replicating oxygen and food sources.

I’ll start with an easy one:
Woven cloth for warmth and appearance.

That's a good one. Is the answer "plates"?

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3-jqr/S01c2-in3

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 5, rule = B3/S2-i3-y4i

Sounds a lot like 'pilates'.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3-jqr/S01c2-in3
3bo$4bo$o2bo$2o2$2o$o2bo$4bo$3bo!

Code: Select all

Sorry, PkmnQ, but you have to make one up again

That sounds like "candle", but I think that might be a trick.

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 9, rule = B3-jqr/S01c2-in3
3bo$4bo$o2bo$2o2$2o$o2bo$4bo$3bo!
