This is what happens when you play without me. :-) Maybe you're right. I did contemplate the fact that a few people might know this word but then decided I couldn't be bothered. I liked the word and I'm not really taking this game of fictionary all that seriously. Why else do you think I submitted the Yoda definition? I assure you I had submitted that before you posted it publicly too, maybe that should go down as an instance of game misconduct? :-).
