Kenning the person above you.

[Taliesin]

Kenning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenning) is a compound poetic phrase, a figure of speech, substituted for the usual name of a person or thing.
They were used very much in the early medieval epics and sagas like Beowulf and Eddas.
For example - sword= onion of war; breaker of rings = king or chieftain; hanged god= Odin.

So.

Let's make a game of making a kenning of the person above you.
