View Full Version : *GAME* Do you know what ______ is?
jenluckenbach
06-13-2003, 06:18 AM
I thought about a game that should be able to include all ages. It started by thinking wouldn't it be fun to ask "Do you remember.........?" But then it would only be for the older people. That is when I thought that there are a lot of things that the young people have or say that the older people have not seen or heard. (their movies and music jump to mind quickly)
So here is what to do:
Type "Do you know what __________ is?"
the next person answers YES or NO and types his/her own question.
Here goes:
Do you know what an LP is?
IttyBittyKitty

White elephant is from an old story in India-the emperor was given a white elephant as a gift;but because it was white the tigers could see it and attack it. The emperor had to build a special pen for it and hire men to watch it-the elephant was costing him a fortune so he was stuck with it-it was useless to the emperor-and that's how the term white elephant came to be.
I'd like foreign phrases for $200.00 Alex:D
