Basically, take a word and give it a new meaning, but the the new meaning has to be related to the make-up of the word. The concept was regularly gone over on I'm sorry I haven't a clue, which is now defunct, sadly.

*weeps*

So, the classic example:

Vanish - A bit like a van.

Behold, the workings of my mind.......

Deliberate - Harassing a take away.
Impede - JamaicanEnglish: The past act of a small man's urination.
Behold - A transport container for bees.
Contemplate - Induce lateness of a contract worker, by nefarious means.
Penetrate - The pen that E.T. really likes.
Scrutinize - Vernacular futurism, to make love to an android.
Analyze - A person with a very strict view.
Dispute - Modern veracular: This Computer.
Hammer - Pig Farmer.
Ambush - morning shrub (ver syn - wake up nookie).
Precocious - Before they were arrogant. (pre-coci-ous)
Antimony - communist in outlook
Rummage - Booze wizardry
Confirm - To steal from a business.
Puppet - A minature baby dog. (Boooooooooooo, gerroff)
Nothing - A stencilist, all out of slender g's.
Pioneer - Location for baked savoury goods.
Supreme - To remove the soup.
Intellect - Likes to speak in public.
President - Squeezing the passport of a treeman.
Dominate - The cash Minnie scoffed.

More! *cracks whip*

(really simple. take a dictionary or an article, pick a multisyllabic word and let your imagination run riot over it)
