muhteşem kadavra
It is a game made famous the surrealists. The first person in the group would write a phrase on a sheet of paper, then fold the paper so that only the final part of the phrase remained. The second person would then continue that phrase, not fully knowing what preceded it, then fold the paper and pass it to the third person, and so on.
These two words are the from a sentence created during the first game: "Le cadavre/exquise/boira/le vin/nouveau"
In English: "The exquisite corpse will drink the young wine"
In Turkish, that reads as : "Muhteşem kadavra taze şarabı içecek." cadavre exquise was translated as "muhteşem kadavra" in writings on histry of surrealism.
