Guess the word! -fun game
I was planning to create such a thread since I first joined HC. Now I think it is the time to make it. I hope the idea wasn't inspiring only inside my head...
So this is going to be a game. Every round I will post a word, a phrase or sometimes a sentence. The twist is, that those won't be in English. I will start with Hungarian words that -in my opinion- are potentially odd to foreign ears. You may send me funny-sounding words of your native language in an IM, and I'll probably post them in one of the rounds.
So you will see a word that is completely alien for you. Your task is to guess it's meaning. You can make only one guess per round. The main goal is of course not to find out the meaning of the word, but to make funny, absurd guesses based on the impression the word gives you. You can also tell what led you to your guess. I know it doesn't sound much fun at first, but I believe you can be creative enough.
 If you happen to know the real meaning of the word, you are disqualified for that round and shall not post a guess.
Using a dictionary, google or any other way to find out the meaning of the word is considered cheating and shall be penalized.
Too much off-topic, random spam (and organized spam as well...) are unwelcome.
I will give out points. The scoring system is purely subjective: based on my sense of humour  I will post the scores and the meaning of the word after a few days.
So this is the system:
4 Quite hilarious.
3 You made me laugh
2 You made me smile
1 You didn't get me to produce a proper smile, but it's still funny.
0 Sorry, it is either indifferent or too forced, better luck next time.
-1 penalty Inappropriate, spam or cheat-smelling.
+1 Bonus You accidentally found out the meaning of the word.
Have fun!

Okay, I though from my experience that three categories would be fine and a 3 point would be rare, but I see I need to make a new category. Yay!
