The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Hmmm, I guess the question is: how often to people try and cheat the system?

I know I often have to push the limits of double meaning or pronunciation ($1) to get some of my puns to work (see the lightsaber joke from earlier). If one of your friends pushes their vocabulary to use a dollar word in a stretch, you can accuse them of hyperextension ($2), thereby reversing the tables and earning the dollar for yourself. I guess if it's just a friendly game, it wouldn't do to be confrontational ($3), but it's just so easy to get caught up in the exhileration ($4) of the competition.

Nicely done

It's a fun word.

I like Euphemism. Dichotomous. Egregious. Existential Quandry. Lots of words that people don't use nearly enough, in my opinion.

Callipygian.

Thank you. I was quite proud of it myself. I just started writing to get to the hyperextension joke, but then I found I legitimately ($5) needed to use pronunciation. So then it snowballed from there.

I'll let you slide on the $4.

Callipygian.

Never heard that word before.

Actually frogman I find it easy to use the word "inconceivable" a lot in conversation to undo some of the monetary damages

Never heard that word before.

Oh, I think that is my favoritest word ever. Look it up.
