Hogwash is the game that I simply know as 'The Dictionary Game' when I have played it face-to-face.
The 'Hogmaster' chooses a word from a dictionary that is not well known. Then the other players make up definitions for it. All the definitions, including the correct one, are shown, and everyone (except the hogmaster) votes for what they think is the dictionary definition. You score points if someone guesses your made up definition as the real one. You also score points if you guess the correct definition. And the hogmaster scores points if no one guesses the dictionary definition.
Obviously when played online the game works on the 'honour system' - that is, of course you could easily cheat by looking the word up, but that would be no fun at all.
Hope this helps.
