I don't think I've seen this thread before but here it is.

The aim of the game is to define that word. The word can be anything, english or not so long as its definable.

E.g. Bonzai! - To charge recklessly while waving a small tree aloft.
e.g 2. Oozel - runny board used by painters and artists.

Play ball!
