A new entry in my occasional, and very niche, series: Favourite Guess In The Game 'Articulate' Played Over Christmas. (If you don't know it, 'Articulate' is a board game where you try to get your team-mates to say as many of the words on the card as possible without using those words yourself.)
Describer: [Trying to get the guesser to say the word 'Adder'] 'Black (pause) Rowan Atkinson...'
Guesser: 'Lenny Henry!'

That's what it says on his business cards.

Oh my god XD
My favourite Articulate situation was as follows:
Describer: [Trying to get the guesser to say Chameleon]
Karma, Karma-karma-karma-karma.....
Guesser: GEORGE MICHAEL!
My favourite this year
Describer: Talking about something really passionately?
Guesser: Speechifying!
I was laughing so hard I didn't hear the actual answer.
I've never played it, I'm starting to think I should!
Don't buy the board game, get everyone to write words (or just names) on slips of paper and throw them all in a big bucket during the evening, then play it that way. Much more fun.
Answer on card: 'The Himalayas'
Describer: A mountain range in Scotland.
Guesser: The Himalayas.
Do they get bonus points for getting the answer right by both getting it wrong in the same way?
Describer: [Trying to get the guesser to say the word 'Blueberry'] 'Not a blackberry'
Guesser: 'iPhone?'
Over Christmas we played a lot of Articulate
Me as Describer (Trying to get the guesser to say Rocket)
'Something you shoot into space'
My son as Guesser: 'MONKEYS!'
Sadly we've never had Articulate as we are a Triv Family. Fave guesser comment on "how many strings on an abacus" (now immortalised in Family Lore) turned to her brother and said, "you'll know, you're musical..."
Trying to get my Mum to say olive I said: 'it is a fruit, comes in green and black...'
Mum: Jelly babies!
My diet was not great as a kid...

The game sounds so funny!
Comedy gold in our household:
Describer: [trying to get the answer Bob Monkhouse] presenter, first name is the same as his *points at grandfather*
Grandmother: Robert?
Describer: shorter...
Grandmother: Bob?
Describer: Yup, second name, first half... A man who lives in a monastery.
Grandmother: monk?
Describer: excellent! Second half... Somewhere a person lives.
Grandmother: um, home?... Flat...?... Apartment?
Describer: time's running out! Bob monk....
Grandmother: abode!
[timer empties, Describer hangs head in shame!)
