Not immemorial at all! It's memorialized right here on my hard drive as
October of 1997, when Jed Hartman thought it up (and it was known for a
while after that as "scoring a la Jed"). The word was 'cypripareunia'.
Prior to that, everyone got just one vote, as I believe is customary in
this sort of game. But we're way cooler than that Balderdash rabble.
