Phrase Bomb
OK....you know how it works already. Insert the "word/phrase of the day" into posts. Try to work them in naturally so they seem like they fit and weren't coerced into the thread.
DON'T OVER DO IT!!! It will be detected and once its detected, the joke will not work anymore.
After this initial post, I'll keep a list of dates and words/phrases. Please suggest them via PM on the forum and I'll try to keep the list up to date. This list will always be the "definitive" place to find the word/phrase of the day.
Thanks for playing. :)
