World's 1st Brevity Game



Simply state a formal passage, quotation, common phrase or song lyric, etc,... and then distill it to its irreducible essence.


Here are five off the top to get the ball rolling:



#1. Red Hot Pawn TOS 3.A. = Be yourself. 2. TOS 3.B. = Play fair. 3. TOS 3.C. = Behave. 4. "I'm not

half of what I meant to be" = Screwed up. 5. "Jeez, didn't you realize that I was only joking" = Sorry.

Actually, "Shut up" was the brief version of what I was going to post. So I'm actually playing along. What fun.

8. Modifying someone's post that played the game by the rules because he made a disparaging comment about a game you created = bad sport. 😛

10. Point taken is already pretty brief. Shortening it further = super brief.

Debeer's marketing line used to be, "Diamonds are forever"

Then they changed it to, "Diamonds, take her breath away"

Now it's, "Diamonds, Render her speechless"


Okay, why don't they just come right out and say it...."Diamonds, that'll shut her up."
