How it works:

Someone posts a loanword, preferably one that is not part of the 90% of vocabulary every english speaking person uses.
You can either consult a foreign word dictionary, choose a word that gives sufficient room for interpretation or think of a nonsense word that isn't identifiable as such without consulting a search engine.

The next user invents an etomology for that word, explaining the meaning and optionally the origin of that word/phrase. It should be obvious that this does not have to do anything with the actual meaning.

Example
User1: [explanation of the previous word]

factice

User2: factice or sometimes spelled "factise" describes the process of creating facts from opinions by repeating them over and over again. Such factism often received great recognition in the past and was particularly practiced by past monarchs monarchs and politicians.
Nowadays factising mainly finds its application in denouncing authentic and well researched news as so called "fake news" in order to keep people from thoroughly educating themselves.

The socalled Paviscerate was the leader of the ancient culture of homo sapiens pavianis, a species of mankind that lived about 180 million years ago.
Status symbol and proof of his might was his riding-triceratops. Triceratops were hard to domesticate yet the Pavianis-culture managed this impressive feat, comparable to the homo sapiens sapiens accomplishment of domesticating the ox. The Paviscerate was traditionally determined through a triceratops-race. With the rising experience in domestication and the increasing triceratops-population the races were replaced by actual arena battles and the different tribes went to war with their dinosaurs. Busy like that they did not manage to survive the Flood and only a tribe living on an island that held Ichtyosaurs survived with their leader Noah later becoming part of mythology.
