Lalena Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I was at my friend's house for her "step son's" birthday party tonight. After dinner, presents and cake the kids were playing with the new toys and the adults decided to play Taboo. For those of you that are not familiar, Taboo is a game where there is one clue giver and the rest of the team needs to guess the word on the card. The hard part is, there are key words that you can not say. For example, If the word was "orange" key words might include: color, fruit, florida, OJ and citrus. Basically, the key words are all the words you want so badly to say. You go through as many cards as you can before the timer runs out.I was very nervous when my turn came up because I am not very quick minded under pressure like that. Unbeleivably, the first word I got was "sneeze." I just looked at it and was like, you have got to be freakin kidding me. I do not remember all the key words, but I do remember "nose" was on there. At first I wanted to say, "The Forum!" but that would obviously been a huge mistake. Instead I said, "When you have an irritation in your shnaz (sp?) you do this." People started guessing ... "Blow your nose!" "Runny Nose!" "Sick!" "Dust" OMG I wanted to die. I replied with, "No ... it's an involuntary action ..." *silence* COME ON PEOPLE!!!! DON'T MAKE ME CONTINUE!!!! I'm thinking. I go on ... "It is done with great force." Finally, someone says, "Sneeze?" "YES! Good, ok ... moving on ..." And I moved on the the next card. What are the chances? I am still flustered hours later ... Link to comment
Jorm Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I love Taboo! But oh man, that would horrible! Link to comment
rayman84 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 ....that's crazy. What are the odds? Link to comment
RoseFever Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Oh jeez xD I hate when sneezing comes into every day stuff like that.....*runs to her Taboo game and looks for the card with 'sneeze' on it and promptly rips it to shreads* Link to comment
chalkdust Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Now I have another reason to not play that game. Link to comment
obsessed Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Oh no! That's wayy too coincidental... and inconvenient Link to comment
March Hare Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hoo boy "Awwk-warrrd!" as Funnybot would say. ( ) Anyway, you did that quite well, I must say I don't know if I would have been able to come up with 'schnozz' (LOVE that word!) as a substitute for 'nose'. Kudos for your wits!(Also I cnat tyep. I totally wrote 'Funnyboy' there three times. And 'love' instead of 'nose' because I had a song in my head. This in the category of totally irrelevant asides.) Link to comment
vote_for_pedro Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Eeek! I would've shit myself if I was in your position, Lalena. As far as I'm concerned, that word IS taboo! It's always been awkward for me to say it. I suppose it's lucky that with that game, you have to get someone else to say it. Yuck to the entire scenario!p.s. @ Funnybot reference Link to comment
Chanel_no5 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Wow, I probably wouldn't have been able to handle it that well... well done! But how AWKWARD!! Link to comment
Joal 555 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 That's absolutely horrendous Lalena, I really feel for you!The only way it could have been any worse would be if it was a mime game - I'd just refuse to play I think! Link to comment
Nicole Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Eeek! I would've shit myself if I was in your position, Lalena. As far as I'm concerned, that word IS taboo! It's always been awkward for me to say it. I suppose it's lucky that with that game, you have to get someone else to say it. Yuck to the entire scenario!Count me in as someone who'd shit herself. I can barely say the word either, let alone BEG someone else to say it! Link to comment
NoV Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I once played this game (can't remember what it was called) where you had to either mime or draw (based on the roll of a dice) a word for people to guess. Well my word was hayfever and thank god I rolled 'draw' (which was embarassing enough) because I don't know how I would have mimed it! Link to comment
EliGirl Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The exact same thing happened to me once. I don't remember what I did exactly, but I remember being embarrassed Link to comment

I would have been freaked out as well......to say the least. Link to comment
Rhomberg Rabbit Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I love Taboo! But oh man, that would horrible!Just say "Prince Harry" Never mind Edited August 26, 2011 by Mayor McSneeze Link to comment

smooshi Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Taboo is a great game, but this.... I have to watch out while playing this..... brr... Link to comment
Honkytonklagoon Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Lalena, it seems like it was your friends who weren't to quick witted under pressure. * too or so. I don't remember which I meant. Edited August 30, 2011 by Joel Link to comment
elements Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 EXACTLY what I was thinking And, this really puts it in perspective for us how much the non-fetishist actually thinks about or pays attention to anything involving snnezing....i mean, those seemed like great, obvious clues!!!!Lalena, it seems like it was your friends who weren't to quick witted under pressure.

StarryView Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Oh my! A similar thing happened to me recently. I was playing Dirty Minds with my family, which is embarrassing and awkward enough (but oh, so fun no matter who its with) and the first word of the WHOLE game, which I was lucky enough to get to read, was Sneeze. I instantly laughed at the coincidence. Link to comment
Rhomberg Rabbit Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 What's Dirty Minds? Link to comment
StarryView Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 What's Dirty Minds? You say 1 suggesting clue on the card at a time for an innocent word on the same card. The other player's get to guess. there are 5 clues per card. It's sort of like What's Yours Like, but without thinking up your own clue. I think thats both an advantage and disadvantage Link to comment

Thanks guys! I thought so too Link to comment
