Balderdash- (noun) A most enjoyable game in which ridiculous sounding words are given even more ridiculous pseudo definitions. (Warning: excessive reading of definitions can cause one to fall into a giddy state, and incessant giggling may occur.)
I fear I have left my blog alone for much too long, so I was trying to find an old journal to look through to find some inspiration as to what to blog about, when I came upon some old Balderdash definitions.Okay, so Balderdash happens to be one of my favorite games, especially when I am feeling particularly creative. It is almost guaranteed to put me in a good mood, even if I'm not having a great day. I am going to share some of my definitions, along with the word I was writing them for. Please keep in mind however that these definitions, while highly applicable in every-day living, do not have actual words to keep them company, so please refrain from using the word they are paired with in the context of the definition I have bestowed upon them in the course of the game.

Suffice it to say, that based on the fact that I have saved some of my past definitions, I really love this game! I have also had the incredibly strong desire to play this game for the past couple months, and sharing these definitions is the closest I can get to playing at the moment. I hope you enjoyed!
