ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mad Gab

Mad Gab is a fun word game where players try to guess a phrase by reading aloud a bunch of words that sound like gibberish, but actually make sense when put together the right way. For example, if you heard the words "egg sore halls" and said them out loud quickly, it might sound like "exorcise your demons," which is the actual phrase you're trying to guess.

To play Mad Gab, you usually have a deck of cards with different phrases on them. One player reads aloud a gibberish phrase, and the other players race to see who can figure out the actual phrase first. The game can get really silly because the words sound so strange and the pressure to figure out the answer quickly can be intense!

The key to Mad Gab is to listen carefully to the words being said and try to connect them in your mind to real phrases that make sense. It can be challenging, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun. The game is great for groups of friends or family members, and it's a great way to exercise your brain and your sense of humor!
