Defamiliarization

Post by PkmnQ »

Defamiliarize a word, then the next person tries to guess it, and if they get it right, they’re the next one to defamiliarize a word.

Example:
NotARealUser55: Protected premature replications of creatures
Imnotreal: Are those cells?
NotARealUser55: No
+guywhodoesnotexist+: Eggs.
NotARealUser55: Yes
+guywhodoesnotexist+: Ok. Self-replicating oxygen and food sources.

I’ll start with an easy one:
Woven cloth for warmth and appearance.

Not quite
It's not a solitaire game
You put multiple plates on this
