Pattern Dictionary Game

Let's play the PatternDictionaryGame!

Here's how it is played:

  1. Get a large dictionary
  2. Gather bored developer(s).
  3. For single points, pick 1 random word, and describe how that word could be a pattern(anti's are ok)
  4. For double points, pick 2 random words, join them together, and describe how both orderings could be an architecture/model(anti's are ok)
  5. For triple points, pick 3 random words, join them together, and describe how (any)three orderings could be a methodology/technique
  6. If playing in a group, everyone votes(not for themselves) - the best one wins that round.

-- LayneThomas


example: Two random words: Postage and Tender

So two names for an architecture: TenderPostage? and PostageTender?

another example: Three random words: Biding, Lizard, and Cosy

So three names for a methodology/technique: CosyBidingLizard?, BidingLizardCosy?, and. . how about LizardCosyBiding?

(I'm not saying these are great, just examples)
