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.
