Ah, vocabulary cards with their emaciated examples and abridged definitions.  

Almost diurnally, after an acrimonious altercation abated all amity, a dogma destitute, depraved dastard, dearth of decorum and devoid of demure demeanor, would deftly abscond with an adversary's deck, extirpate the ensconced card compendium, and disperse them, in what was, in effect, an extemporaneous etymological emancipation.

In other words, there would sometimes be games of '1000 pickup'.
