I found this game on another message board, and realized we hadn't had one of these in a while.

Basically, the first person makes up a word.

Then the person after them defines that word in traditional dictionary style; be sure to include what part of speech it is (verbs, nouns, that sort of thing), and number your definitions if the word has more than one meaning.

Then that person offers their own made-up word.

My word: Plenicate

According to my Dr. Seuss dictionary:

Frongative: A medical condition due to lack of inhibition, from rolling in the wood without a jacket hood, your skin quickly burns, after touching many ferns, you get agressive spores, burrowing deep into your pores, from your face it starts to sprout, as in pain you scream and shout, and to the doctor you must go, as tears begin to flow.

The next canidate is acomacomadan.
