Can't say it. Can't use gestures to describe it. Not allowed to use certain related words to it.
Still, it's a good party game to get the entire group to join in - and it's never really played to the point where you know all the words (too bad the same can't be said for Cranium). And this was what we played at NJAPF's and Lingo's housewarming party last night (which is MONTHS late, but hey, it's still a housewarming).
Had warned NJAPF that we may be late (10ish turned out to be...*checks call log*...11.14pm) and so they started off playing Cranium. By the time we reached 'Vin had already left, leaving psike and us as the final guests to arrive. Helped ourselves to the Syrah, the celery stick and dip, the tasty pineapple tarts and the chocolates while watching the two teams crack their heads on Cranium.
Then after a short break where we tried the new Twisties potato chips (tasty but a bit expensive) and broke out the coffee liquor.
After that, it was on to this party game also with two teams. Doesn't matter if we didn't know some of the other guests (thankfully our team had NJAPF's old friends whom we're acquainted with), and the teams were quite even, 3 girls and 2 guys on each side (oh, if we knew that there was a good mix of people we would have gotten Twister!).
Quite a number of funny moments...
"Men wear these - girls like to collect wan."
"Another word for thongs - dirty word wan!"
"The black man who goes around using this ball of his to destroy planets."
"Er. Blanka. Where does he comes from?"
Interestingly, when we were monitoring NJAPF during her turn, she hesitated on a certain word - EJECT. We recognize the hesitation for what it was, "You're thinking about sex, aren't you?"
Better yet was when NJAPF was describing the word:
NJAPF: After sex what happens to the guy?
Lingo: Erect!
Wah. Guess things were never the same after our session at Ethancya's and Renzze's where instead of describing verbally, it was done like Charades. NJAPF should still remember how we described 'tear-jerker'.
So, this game is called...?

isn't that "Taboo"?
played it at church camp also. laughed like mad crazy at some things but now the memory has dimmed...hmmmm...
it's "taboo", for sure. they actually have it at toys r us. along with the words that are supposed to be guessesd are actually taboo words that can't be used as descriptions, for example:
word: India
taboo words: taj mahal, curry, etc
actually made a full set of taboo cards from scratch myself for english club and parties. i love this game!
Sounds interesting
Sounds like taboo! Whoops, a million folks guessed it. And what is adrien doing awake at this hour!! No wonder sleepy!
nocturnal being, i am. or maybe i wrote that right before heading out to send my sister to school. and for that rendezvous at kelana jaya station.
FeR: It is! Why has it dimmed? That long back kah?
Adrien: We wonder what were written on the cards...then again, maybe we shouldn't be that curious.
Jason: It is! Lots of talking and kan cheong-ness!
Savante: It's Taboo all right. At least Adrien wasn't driving. Mana tahu where you all might end up.
Taboo!? And I thought it was "Psychic Charades".
if adrien was driving paul will end up at the side of the highway. abandoned.
FUN FUN FUN! I forgot what was it that men wear and girls collect, was it shoes?? Hahaha...
William: Heh heh. Sarcasm. You can play Charades with it too!
Adrien: You could try.
NJAPF: Either shoes or sandals, we were to busy laughing and it was your team. :D
