The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Scattergories is the game where you and players are tasked with thinking up words that can be found in "categories"(e.g. boy's name, capitol, food, favorite historical person). The words are determined primarily by a multi-sided die which is covered in letters of the alphabet. For boy's name and a dice roll of R, you may select names such as Richard, Roosevelt, ronnie, etc.
My dilemma: My group and I came across the category "Words associated with Exercise." I had selected the word "wander" as a means by which one can obtain exercise. By our group, it was determined that Wander has no association with exercise, but I wanted a broader perspective.
A fun game to get into, I would recommend it to anyone having friends over.
heh heh heh

Wander is not a word associated with exercise. What the hell were you thinking?
What about "weights"? Walking? Water polo? Windsurfing?
The objective is to think of words that everyone else wont think of. Of course I guess you could eliminate others points by writing down words they thought of as well.
However wander isn't exercise, no matter how "broad" you can get. I think its accepted that if there is no legitimate use of the word in ANY language-groups common dialouge, then the word is wrong.
But yea, Windsurfing I could see (even though I don't see that as exercise, so much as recreation) might've worked. Definitely someone would have guess weights and walking though.
I lurched with nausea when I read the title. So many terrible childhood memories. Anytime the power would go out we would play this horrible game. Once I was old enough to drive I honestly drove to a river and threw it in like Jumanji.

An acceptable definition of wander would be to go somewhere at a leisurely pace.
It's essentially walking but trickier.
I'm not sure I'd consider either exercise but if you're going to count walking then wander works too.
