Bullshit Scrabble

My best friend was terrible at Scrabble and I was (and am) really good at it. However, we devised a way to play so we could both enjoy it AND it was always anybody's guess who might win. Enter: Bullshit Scrabble It's just like Scrabble except, instead of using a dictionary to challenge the meaning (or existence) of a word, you use your imagination and your ability to bullshit. So, if you don't have a word, but you have something that looks like a word to you, you can put it down. Then, if your opponent challenges it, you have to convince them that the word you put down really IS a word--and, if that fails, you just have to make them laugh their asses off at your explanation for what the word is. If your opponent doesn't believe you and you don't make them laugh, then you have to take the word back. If they do believe you or it does make them laugh, you get to keep the word. Clearly, he was the champion of bullshit. But, I really miss Bullshit Scrabble.
