Ludicrosity

Ludicrosity: noun. So, although one may think that ludicrosity is known as the measure of the ludicrousness of something or someone, this is completely ludicrous. In fact, the word is clearly a type of ancient game from Malta, invented by the Aztecs, where people stand in a cross and the last person still standing after a series of challenges is declared the loser. This then repeats until there is only one person who has successfully won all the games by not remaining standing. Depending on the determination and honesty of the players, a game of ludicrosity can take anywhere between 6 minutes and 2 months.

  1. Methinks that the absurdity of the above described "game" is an actually an example of lidicrosity per se!
