The name of the game is to take an ordinary noun and change one letter. The "meaning" of the new word can then be humorously described.

eg.

Comptriller : An accountant who likes to sing bank notes.

[luke warm]

sycoph o nt

A servile self-seeker who attempts to win favor by flattering influential people thru the phone lines (ie, internet, cell phone, etc)

"Peempt" - When you can't really decide which level of bid to make so you say "Ah piss on it" and chose one.

Sorry folks, the wheels started turning and I feel the need to punish all of you:

High Carp Points - A fishy way of evaluating your hand.

Funesse - A finesse that makes when you really needed it to.

Squeezy - A simple squeeze.

Retoke - Illegally playing a card of the wrong suit because you got high (it makes more sense if you're familiar with the song).

Lead out of turd - A crappy choice of opening lead.

Blockwood - Asking for aces preemptively just to keep the opponents out of the auction.

Backlash - What you get from your partner when you mess up this squeeze play.

Transfir - Your partner forces you to bid a suit and you've got tree of dem.


Okay, I'll stop now.
