You may be good at keeping a straight face, but we asked you what kind of statement you would not be able to get away with as we played a game of #TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI

[The Story So Far: Every Wednesday at 12 noon South African time [6am EDT] an inspired and growing number of brilliant, creative and absolutely fun people from all around the world take part in what is called a Hashtag game. @AFrikkinHashtag [say it out loud] is South Africa’s #1 Hashtag game and is always a lot of fun. The F.L.O.P. [or Fish List Of Prizeworthyness] is the collection of some of the best tweets from each week’s game and is what all seriously comedic Hashtaggers aspire to…]

So we got you intrigued:

hashtag game lie detector

And then we sent out the invite and some examples:

#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI accidentally said something about liking raiSINs. #NotATrueStoryWouldNeverHappenEvenInJest

hashtag game lie detector

#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI said that eating pineapple on pizza should be a thing.

#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI told her that it was perfectly socially acceptable to use the word ‘Bae’ ever. Ever.

#TheLieDetectorWentOffWhenI asked @KeshaTedder who her favourite @StarWars character was and she responded by laughing “Not Jar Jar Binks”

This was the game where we thought we were saying goodbye to our good friend Rob @GenericZA for a long long time [although it did in fact turn out to be much shorter than he had anticipated…or so he says] and so a number of our tweets were shoutouts to him:

But in the meantime our game did its regular trendage and some of our favourite bots stopped by:

And we even had the good folks at 104.2 Nile FM play along with us:

So all in all a whole lot of fun, but of course this is always also just about you and so let’s see who made it on to this week’s TOP TWEETS list which we affectionately call the F.L.O.P.
