Funny words for Alias — a party set

Words that are funny before anyone explains them. Built for loud parties.

Words that get the room laughing before a single clue is given. Funny not for what they mean but for how they sound and for the images you are forced to build to get them across.

Why a set just for laughs

Alias is not won by whoever knows the most words — it is won by whoever is fun to play with. Nobody explains "snoring" or "hiccup" with a straight face, and that is exactly what makes the evening memorable. Save this set for last, when the score has stopped mattering.

• Allow sounds if you agree on it beforehand — banning noises removes half the fun from this particular set.
• Explain through a domestic scene, not a dictionary: "what your neighbour does through the wall at three in the morning".
• Do not polish your phrasing. The blunter it is, the faster they guess.
