Weird faces are commonly used in boring situations in order to entertain oneself. (
ex. on a train or a snakeless plane) Generally, these weird faces are part of a game known as the "weird
face game" (WFG) The rules for WFG are as follows:
- There is a maximum an a minimum of two participants
- Person A would initiate the game by making a weird
face until Person B notices and acknowledges Person A.
This is proof that I will do anything other than my summer reading.
- Once eye contact is made, Person B has five (5) seconds to respond to Person A by making a similar
face
- After Person B copies the initial
face, Person A will change their
face and exchanges would continue in the same manner until is over
There are multiple reasons why a WFG
may come to a conclusion.
1. One of the participants laughs. If this happens, the
non-laughing participant wins
2.
Something distracts only one of the players from the game, making them unable to make a new
face or copy a
face within the 5 second period. If this happens, the participant who is not distracted wins.
3. If something, however, were to distract both participants, then the game ends in a draw.
The game
may also end in draw for the following reasons:
- The players become tired and agree to end
- A "Psyche Out"
A "Psyche Out" occurs when a bystander becomes so annoyed or weirded out by the game, that they yell at the participants. The term "Psyche Out" was stolen from the movie Baseketball.
