Lucius Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 I used to enjoy this game, but the thread is now archived. So I'm going to try to revive it. Here is how it started last time: Okay, here's a spin-off from the venerable "Acronym Game" thread. The format is the same (invent a phrase that the previous word would be an acronym for, then provide a new word). However, there's an additional layer to make it more challenging... The phrase you come up with has to describe or relate to the meaning of the acronymed word in some way. Here are some examples of these "advanced" kinds of acronyms from the original acronym game thread... BROWNIE Baked Refreshment, Often With Nuts Inside. Enjoy! CIVIL WAR Citizens In Violent Insurrection Lift Weapons And Rebel CAPSLOCK Causes A Perpetually Screaming Language On Computer Keyboards DIANA Deity In A Noble Acropolis (credit to Lucius) RECURSION Running Eternally Caused Under Rules Self-Inclusive Over Numbers (credit to Klytus) TRISMEGISTUS "Thrice Regal?!?" I Swear, Mercury... Even Great Icons Should Try Understatement Sometimes! (credit to V) Let's start with HERO Lucius Alexander What, you expected me to start with a palindromedary?
