Here's a new game to play! Open your dictionary to any random page. Take the word at the top of the page and at the bottom of the page, put them together to create a new word or phrase, then make up a definition to go with them!

Example:
governor gram: What a death row inmate prays for.

casualty caterer: The one I wouldn't want to hire for my next party!

Your turn!

Pirene pitch: In classical mythology, the argument used by Pirene as to why she shouldn't have been turned into a fountain - which she was, according to the myth.

This sounded like a really fun game, so I went to get a dictionary...only I don't have one.

Hey, if I don't know a word, I can look it up online! Or ask you nice people.

So, I grabbed David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest (it's the size of a dictionary!) and picked a page.

(p.387)
