Hi Steemit!

Forgive and Forget ---> Four give and Four get

As part of promoting Steem Philippines Discord channel for Filipinos, I would like to announce that I am hosting a new game inside Steem Philippines Discord. An initiative to help the Philippine community and add spice to the server. The game will be : "CLASSICAL PICTURE REBUS".

What is it?

It would be best explained by understanding "REBUS" First.

As defined by Wikipedia :

A Rebus is a puzzle in which words are represented by combinations of pictures and individual letters; for instance, apex might be represented by a picture of an ape followed by a letter X.

Or, it is an allusional device that uses pictures to represent words or parts of words. It was a favourite form of heraldic expression used in the Middle Ages to denote surnames.
In linguistics, the rebus principle is the use of existing symbols, such as pictograms, purely for their sounds regardless of their meaning, to represent new words. Many ancient writing systems used the rebus principle to represent abstract words, which otherwise would be hard to be represented by pictograms.

Prizes
