Slang Wars
Two sides. One picks ten of its own phrases, reads them out, and the other has a go at what they mean.
Nothing at all

How to run it
One phone between the side that is calling. Everybody else just talks.
The round
- It opens on your own side. Whoever is calling holds the phone.
- Tick about ten off your own list, or add ones the app has not got — anything you add is kept on that phone for your side.
- Meanings are hidden by default. Show meanings if you need a reminder of your own.
- Read them out one at a time. The other side shouts what they think it means.
- Tap Got it or Missed. The app keeps the count.
- Swap over at the end and do it the other way.
Worth knowing
- Close enough is close enough. The room decides, not the phone.
- Arguing about what a word actually means is the game working, not the game breaking.
- Best of the two rounds takes the points.
What you need
Nothing. The people in the room and a phone between you.
Before the day
Split the room into two sides in Squad first — the app splits the bank on it. Takes about twenty seconds.
If it goes badly
Every wrong guess is a word you have to use, correctly, for the rest of the night.

Fayla builds the whole weekend around it — a scoreboard everybody can see, a shopping list that writes itself out of the things you picked, and one link for the group chat.
