Gheorghle: The Dumbest Quiz Game

Several of your favorite Gheorghies (and Dave) are in a group chat solely dedicated to sharing daily results of various online quiz games we complete. We do the Wordle, the Worldle, Connections, The New York Times mini crossword, Bandle, and Framed nearly every day. Some folks add the Quordle and Strands. It's a lot. 

We're also continually scouring the interwebs for new games to play. I do Immaculate Grid for baseball, even though most days it reminds me how much I've forgotten about trivia I once knew about ballplayers. Dooger shared some really dumb one about checking boxes the other day. There will be more.

In addition to participating in brain gaming, I'm quite prone to expressing myself in absurdly random ways when I'm alone. Sometimes just in my head, and sometimes aloud. Today, we're combining the two things for your amusement and participation.

In the spirit of collective mental exercise combined with whimsy, I'm pleased today to introduce The Gheorghle. The concept is simple. I list a handful of thoughts that pop into my head or things that come out of my mouth, and you have to guess the context. Points are given completely subjectively by me for accuracy and comedic value, not necessarily in that order. I'll reveal the actual inspirations for the phrases at some point, via some means.

Herewith The Gheorghle #1:

1. Fuck, Fergie Jenkins is Canadian!
2. Merde
3. Golf balls!
4. PEPE LE PEW!
5. Who are these new frens?

Answer in the comments. Or in the group chat. And enjoy!
