Amiable Holy cow, I literally noticed this word in a book about an hour ago! It's like you were looking over my shoulder. In my bedroom. While I was reading in bed. Which would totally be weird. 😄 1d

CatLass007 Everything is always related to cats. The world revolves around cats. So of course even if the definition doesn‘t mention cats, it‘s still about cats.🐱 @Amiable That‘s serendipitous! And weird. 23h

Better late than never, friends! I‘ve been on a Bob Dylan kick lately and the term and lyrics (my favorites in the song) above are from one of my favorite songs of his: Visions of Johanna. Anyone ever play blind man‘s bluff as a kid? #weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords

CatLass007 Wow! I‘ve missed you. Happy New Year! I don‘t think I ever played blind-man‘s bluff as a child. But I‘ve heard of it. 1w

CBee @CatLass007 I‘ve missed you too! It‘s been a rough start to the new year but it‘s starting to look up 🤞🏻 1w

BookmarkTavern Glad to see you back! And never played, but I have heard of it! 1w

Cuilin Yes. It was a staple child‘s birthday party game, along with Pass the Parcel in Ireland in the 70‘s. 1w

TheSpineView I played! That does bring back memories. 1w

CBee @BookmarkTavern thank you! I‘ve missed you guys. 1w

CBee @Cuilin tell me about Pass the Parcel! That‘s a new one. 1w

dabbe So glad to see you, m'dear! I've never played blind-man's bluff, but I have read about it. 🩶🖤🩶 1w

Cuilin Pass the parcel, the host has a gift wrapped with many layers of paper. The game starts with everyone seated in a circle. Music is played, the gift is passed around. When the music stops whoever is holding the parcel unwraps a layer, this continues with the music starting and stopping and layers being removed until the last player to remove the last piece of paper gets to keep the gift. 🎁 7d

Cuilin @TheSpineView Musical Chairs, Blind Man‘s Bluff and Pass the Parcel bring back so many happy memories. 7d

CatLass007 @Cuilin That sounds interesting. I have been at holiday parties with other adults when a game of “Chinese” Christmas party is played. Everyone brings a gift, maybe gag gifts or maybe the same type of gifts, say mugs. This doesn‘t work well with large groups because it takes a while. Everyone puts their anonymous gifts on a table or under a tree. Each person is assigned a number or maybe it just goes around the circle. The first person (cont)⬇️ 7d

CatLass007 chooses and opens a package. The next person has the option of taking the gift from the first person or choosing a wrapped gift. It‘s fun but occasionally can be frustrating. 7d

CatLass007 I guess the closest I‘ve ever come to playing blind-man‘s bluff is playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey. 7d

CBee @Cuilin that sounds like so much fun! I always loved musical chairs too. 7d

Came across this in A FATAL GRACE by Louise Penny. Definitely something we don't experience in Phoenix, AZ!

CBee Perfect! I‘m actually on #6 in the series! Still cold and icy 😂 3w

dabbe @CBee 🤩😂🤗 3w

CSeydel I once used this word in a history paper in high school. My teacher took points off because he didn‘t know what it meant. One of the worst teachers I have ever had (and not just because of that). 3w

dabbe @CSeydel Translation from teacher: How dare you profess to know a word that I don't? You must have made it up or looked it up in the dictionary! #oy 🙄😂🤗 3w

Suet624 This qualifies as a descriptor of my current local weather. 3w
