dipple, v. To try to remove a sticky something from one hand with the other, thus causing it to get stuck to the other hand and eventually to anything else you try to remove it with.
Plenisette might not have been quite the right word the first time, since I'd somehow read "cellophane" as "cellophane tape". At least dipple also fits the bill.

No idea, but it should come as a shock that I hear tell it's quite electrifying.

bordley, adj. Descriptive of the glazed remembrance, about three-quarters of the way through the game, that you've never really liked Monopoly that much.
(Source: The Yorkshire Meaning of Liff)

If you're lucky, your friends will help you remember before you plunge into the game, for all the good it does.  And let's face it, the game's bits and bobs are more fun to play with than the game itself.
