initgame
     
         /in-it'gaym/ [IRC] An {IRC} version of the venerable
        trivia game "20 questions", in which one user changes his
        {nick} to the initials of a famous person or other named
        entity, and the others on the channel ask yes or no questions,
        with the one to guess the person getting to be "it" next.  As
        a courtesy, the one picking the initials starts by providing a
        4-letter hint of the form sex, nationality, life-status,
        reality-status.  For example, MAAR means "Male, American,
        Alive, Real" (as opposed to "fictional").  Initgame can be
        surprisingly addictive.  See also {hing}.
