Crambo
Crambo is a word game. It's different to our word imperfect game though. Here's how to play. One player says a word. Each of the other players must find a rhyme for that word. There seem to be some other versions which could be more interesting but I'll leave you to follow that up in your own time. Sandra Dodd's definition made it to the top of the poll today, followed closely by her rivals. Well done, Sandra.

Crambo... I've actually seen this on a Tom and Jerry cartoon. Jerry's Unlce Pecos was singing a song called Crambo (At least, that's how I remember it!). He kept breaking guitar strings and so he would continuously pluck a whisker from Tom's face to replace his broken strings...I'm guessing this isn't the same meaning that you'll find in the dictionary, however.
The song went a little something like this, "Froggy went a courtin', he did ride, Crambooooo!

Crambo
Crambo is an old rhyming game which, according to Strutt, was played as early as the 14th century under the name of the ABC of Aristotle. In the days of the Stuarts it was very popular, and is frequently mentioned in the writings of the time. Thus Congreve's Love for Love, i. 1, contains the passage, "Get the Maids to Crambo in an Evening, and learn the knack of Rhyming." Crambo, or capping the rhyme, is now played by one player thinking of a word and telling the others what it rhymes with, the others not naming the actual word they guess but its meaning. Thus one says "I know a word that rhymes with bird." A second asks "Is it ridiculous?" "No, it is not absurd." "Is it a part of speech?" "No, it is not a word." This proceeds until the right word is guessed.

That is WAY better than the "Ah-oooooh" I learned with that song. I'm singing "crambooo" from now on. Maybe with a Wakko Warner accent.
