When bored on a remote Scottish island, with no internet and a storm raging on outside, we played some variant of this game. We took a Gaelic dictionary, looked up words and used them in context in an English sentence; the others would then try to guess the meaning. It's a good laugh, you should get a dictionary and try it. I particularly loved finding the following word and definition: Teurmnasg (lit. thumb binding). a bandage on the toes and thumbs of a dead person, to prevent his ghost from hurting foes.
