A game our family has enjoyed is one in which a player picks an unusual word, and then the other players make up a definition and everyone tries to pick the right one. (There is a commercial version available, but we did it on our own with slips of paper.)
At one session of this game, someone chose the word stirps, which has as one definition in legal usage, "a person from whom a family is descended." From that time our clan has titled my father (currently 90 years old) "The Stirps."
