Maybe they just got confused like Alex Williams did and sent their votes to the Hogwash Hogmaster.



First off please just call me Alex. Either that or Lord Badass. Either is fine. Secondly, as to submitting to the "hogmaster," you are confusing "confusion" with metonymy (substitution of one word for another which it suggests). While the game in progress in not a round of hogwash, it takes the place of hogwash, the current game having been suggested in lieu of hogwash rather than in addition to it. Therefore one should understand "hogmaster" to mean the master of games, so to speak, regardless of whether or not the game is hogwash, or pick-the-nit, or what-have-you.
