| bugga |
Aussie/NZ
slang for "oh dear! I didn't do at all well on that
question" |
| lem,
LEM |
To
copy another person's answer (derived from the Lemmings,
creatures that would follow a leader over a cliff if that is
where the leader is going <g>) |
| Poinks |
Slang
for "Points", the score you get when playing a Trivia
Game :) |
| Boners |
Slang
for Bonus - it just sounds more risque ;) e.g. "Nice BONERS
you got for that question!" |
| Hat,
Hat Trick |
If
a player gets 3 questions right first, in a row, they get BONERS
POINKS (Hat Trick derives from the Cricket term for dismissing 3
batsmen in a row <g> - what??? You don't know how to play
Cricket??? Look it up on Yahoo or something <weg>) |
| Hunker |
To
defend against a player about to get a HAT TRICK, you can
Hunker. See the Guide
to Happy Hunkering for step-by-step details ;) |
| Probe |
Sounds
awful, doesn't it? Its the trivia question that the Host asks :)
It doesn't hurt too much normally <eg> |
| BrainDrain!!! |
You'll
hear this call made by "rabble-rousers" (j/k) and
"sticklers for accuracy" (still j/k) when they believe
a Host has got the answer to a question wrong, and their answer
is right :) What you can do is, you can take your beef to
BrainDrain - there you will see Peter (but he REALLY likes it
when you call him Judge Judy) who can help resolve the issue and
restore any POINKS you may be owed <g>. Just remember -
this is still meant to be FUN :))) |
| Bing |
This
is your answer when you do not know the right one, and you don't
want to LEM - it will get you a measly 5 POINKS usually (derived
from Bing Crosby, UltraMaroon knows why, ask him <g>) |
| Bag |
Oh,
now, this is a heinous (get a dictionary <eg>) act!! When
you know the right answer to a question, and when everyone else
has either answered incorrectly or BINGed, you put in the
correct answer so that no-one gets the chance to LEM you. This
way you get BONERS POINKS for being the only correct answer!!
Shamefull!!! <weg> |
