Stinky Pinky

[jebenson]

There's a word game that my friends and I play called Stinky Pinky. It works like this:

You make up a phrase that rhymes, has 2 parts, and each part has the same number of syllables. The best ones have each syllable in each phrase rhyme with the corresponding syllable in the other phrase (although there's a little leeway on this). You announce the number of syllables by saying a version of the game's name - Stinky Pinky. For example, a phrase that has 1 syllable in each part would be a "Stink Pink", a phrase with 2 syllables a "Stinky Pinky", a phrase with 3 a "Stinkety Pinkety", a phrase with 4 would be a "Stinkety-stink Pinkety-pink", 5 would be "Stinkety-stink-stink Pinkety-pink-pink", and so forth. There's really no winner or scoring, we just try to make the phrases amusing if possible. Here's an example:

A Stinky Pinky that's a hirsute pixie.

Answer: hairy fairy

So, if anybody's game, I'll get things going.

1) A Stinky Pinky that's a poor orator.

2) A Stinkety Pinkety that's an important landmass.

3) A Stinkety-stink Pinkety-pink that's ghostly fabric.

Is this the same as thread1322-940455 and thread1322-909457 ?

So it is...I guess there really is nothing new under the sun...

They play this game on the PBS program called "Zoom" too. They call them "hin-pinks", "hinky-pinkies", "hinkety-pinketies", etc.

Zoom" is still on TV? It seems like only yesterday I was learning English from that program while babysitting. (The baby was supposed to be watching it too.)

Yes, it's still on! For the last three years I worked graveyard shift and, unless you like soap-operas (I don't) the only channel worth watching in my are is the PBS station. Zoom was one of my favorites. (I hate to admit it, but I also like Sagwa and Clifford.)
