Not Quite Conlanging

There's a page right here:
http://www.conknet.com/~mmagnus/Query.html
Which asks you to come up with definitions for nonexistent words. I
was amazed at how often, when I looked at a word, I knew exactly what
it "should" mean. Sometimes very specific things, such as:
"Chutzpah for goyim."
"a king of ogres."
"to attempt to impersonate without much hope of success."
What fun! Give it a try when you've a few minutes to spare.
