<p>I decided this board needed some lightening up, but also some study help! This game can be funny and help you learn all those really hard words. Okay, person 1 says a really good SAT word, and the next person gives one good synonym and puts it into a funny sentence. (well, for those with no humor, a regular sentence) Then under their sentence, they put a new word, and so on.</p>
<p>Have fun!</p>

<p>Neophyte = novice</p>

<p>prelect</p>
<p>wha..? I dont get it...</p>
<p>Let's keep this game going, it's a great way to practice vocab.</p>
<p>Prelect = to lecture or discourse publicly</p>
<p>The professor never ceased to bore his students by prelecting on inane historical subjects, such as the depilation practices of ancient Sumeria.</p>
<p>syzygy</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is how the game works: You answer the last person's vocab word by writing the meaning, and then writing the word in the context of a memborable (preferably humorous) sentence. Then leave as the last line of your post a new vocab word for the next person to figure out. Then the process repeats itself...</p>
