A partial selection of the words & phrases of the board game Balderdash played on a recent weekend evening in north Oakland, during what was surely one of the finest rounds of that game ever played.

(Lasagna dinner and lush cocktails provided by Elisabeth, whose hostessing was surely the stage upon which the scene was played.)
cockchafer (by Coop---Red wrote a wool sweater for a chicken. Coop almost cracked up reading it)
L.S.L.T. (by Molly. Elisabeth: Louisiana Salt Lick Trade.)
scrivello (by yours truly. Red: a pasta dish mmmmm.)
fipple (by Coop--"like nipple, but an 'f'," he said when first reading it. Red echoed it back in her contribution. Me: An Elizabethan era term meaning lighthearted due to the drinking of mede.)
In Akron, Ohio, it is illegal to ride a donkey if... (by Red, of course, who stumped me, and who got the most points in the final tally).
