Balderdash

As an end of term activity with my year nine class today we played a bit of Balderdash. The girls were given a Latin word, for which they had to invent a definition. Then their definitions were pooled together, and they had to try to choose which one was correct. Here are some of the words, and their definitions; can you tell which one is correct?

• to have worms
• to walk with great pride
• to be truthful, to tell the truth

olfactoriolum, i (nt):

• a lazy person
• a little perfume bottle

mansuetarius, i (m):

• a bull that is used for agricultural purposes
• a tamer of wild beasts

stomachor, ari, atus:

• to be irritated, annoyed
• to put up with a difficult situation
• to make extremely loud sounds, like the trumpeting of an elephant
