The Game: Kind of like the (as far as I know) dead Imaginary Word Game (I was devestated!) from the WG forum. The person above you will have written the name of a town or city, you have to make up a meaning for that name, and then give the name of another town or city. Or province, state... take your pick.
Some examples from the book:

Woolfardisworthy (n.)
A mumbled, mispronounced or misheard word in a song, speech or play. Derived from the well-known mumbled passage in Hamlet:
'...and the spurns,
That patient merit of the unworthy takes
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who woolfardisworthy
To grunt and sweat under a weary life?'

You under no circumstances have to indicate wether you have changed the word to a noun, verb, etc. since I haven't got English for a whole semester yet so I have no intention to have to think about these kind of things without being forced to. You may, though. If you're that kind of person.
First town:
Manilla. Now give us a definition and another town.
