Gagagram
The rule of the play is simple: Put a statement on a paper and make its word-order into something which is not possible. The point is that you have to put all the word in an order which is NOT possible.
"I am a cat," for example, may be changed into a form like this: "Am cat I a" or "A I cat am" or "A am cat I" or "Cat am a I." If any two words of it are put in a possible order, it will not be a Gagagram. ¶ 22:05
| Ogden gave, in the book named Brighter Basic, an account of a strange language game named Gagagram. [Game is a sort of play with rules. It's not a Basic word.] It's for having a good time and for training the sense of language structure.
