Call My Bluff

UK-ers (who are over 30) may remember the old TV quiz show, Call My Bluff, featuring Frank Muir, where contestants were given an unusual word and had to make up meanings to it. One person, however, would have the correct definition, and the other team had to work out which was the correct meaning.

Courtesy of Halo, and I quote....." Last edited by Halo : Today at 00:31. Reason: edited email addy to curn spam harvesters" hehe (yeah, I know you meant to say curb, Halo )

So.....let's have some definitions for the word "curn"....this should get interesting. You have the full sentence for context. When this word is exhausted, someone suggest another.

 

Old people around here use that word for something that has an awful odor. Something that is foul tasting or smelling.

Ooooooooooh, that has an awful "curn" to it.

Curning, or "to curn" is an old english medieval word meaning to punish a wrong doer (in this case the spammer) three times a day and comes from the Latin ter die sumendum curnus

 

My girlfriend's best friend is a knockout, but boy she's a "rounder".

Steve

 

Had a board game (Balderdash) that was the same concept...and it was a blast to see what some come up with!!

I'll give this a shot here...

To "Curn" someone, is to beat them into a bloody pulp, as if you were "churning" milk into butter!?!?!?

"If you don't watch it...someone will "CURN" your a$$!!"

Here, a "rounder" is a girl that get's or been around alot.

You know like, "I took her to the dance and she knew everybody in the band".

Steve

 

I thought you were going to say "I took her to the dance and she knew everybody a rounder".

@ Roger....maybe that's what Halo meant by curn after all heheh
