reindeer games

A euphemism that can refer to almost any small group activity, from management seminars to orgies, and from clique-based bullying to Christmas-related social gatherings. The significance in the use of the term is in the fact that the reindeer games in the song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, are undefined and left to the imagination, though specifically related to a particular group. The clique-based bullying has been a favored definition because the other reindeer also "used to laugh and call (Rudolph) names." But some experts believe Rudolph may have been excluded from the games specifically because his red nose gave him an unfair advantage, not dissimilar to bringing a gun to a knife fight.

1. Don? Oh, he's out playing reindeer games, you know, that stupid fantasy warlord group he belongs to.
2. Is everyone here? Got the ladders, brushes, rollers, and paint? Then let the reindeer games begin.
3. Happy holidays like hell! I spent my entire lunch hour playing reindeer games at the post office, trying to get my packages mailed.

... and at the end of the flick*, all these weird-lookin' LGMs come out of the spaceship and kinda wander around, like they're all high or somethin'. Hey, maybe that's what all that smoke is! The LGMs came to earth for the pot!
