A few defintions from Ambrose Bierce...

While these defintions might not be following the actual form of the previous posts, I hope they are similar in spirit.

Deinotherium, n. An extinct pachyderm that flourished when the Pterodactyl was in fashion. The latter was a native of Ireland, its name being pronounced Terry Dactyl or Peter O'Dactyl, as the man pronouncing it may chance to have heard it spoken or seen it printed.

Egotist, n. A person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me.

Loquacity, n. A disorder which renders the sufferer unable to curb his tongue when you wish to talk.

Miracle, n. An act or event out of the order of nature and unaccountable, as beating a normal hand of four kings and an ace with four aces and a king.

Misericorde, n. A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.

Scribbler, n. A professional writer whose views are antagonistic to one's own.

Cheers,

Abstractualize

v. tr. To make real that which is disassociated from a specific instance, in a way maddening to those who do not understand it.

ex. I am all for it, or anything else that adds a dash of realism into a very abstractualized game.
