On the "Clever Cards" in the Parilous Parlor game, Sunny says various baby words. Several of them are refrences to grim-ish things.
Opec: A refrence to O.P.E.C., the Organization of Petrolium Exporting Countries, who tries (in vain) to bring oil prices down. Also an anagram of cope.
Maguffin:A phrase used in the movie industry to refer to an object in a film that causes bad things to happen/ sets the plot in motion(e.g. the Ark of the Covenant is the Maguffin of the 1st Indiana Jones movie). Usually spelled McGuffin.
Zagam: A refrence to the Zagam Bridge in Boston that caused a lot a controversy. The man who built it was violently murdered.
Smee: Captain Hook's right hand man in Peter Pan.
Reekrat: What does it sound like?
Yootat: Hard one. It's an anagram of "Y tatoo", maybe a refrence to the fact that before V.F.D. came into the picture, the Bauds didn't know why Olaf had his tattoo.

Usually spelled McGuffin. Of course, in The End, Sunny also says "MacGuffin." The sugar bowl is the object in aSoUE most often cited as a MacGuffin, but Sunny was referring to Olaf's MacGuffin, the Baudelaire fortune. I suppose that might well be the case in the PPGame as well? Could also, therefore, be "you tat(too)"? As in "you have a tattoo," since Olaf's forever trying to disguise it. Is there any more context to the Sunny speech, any more text on these cards, or is that literally it? The Perilous Parlor Game is not an item I've myself acquired. Thank you for compiling this. If you'd like, I can post a copy of it in the Dastardly Documents section with the other Sunny Speak lists.

Thats literally it. There wern't as many Sunny cards as there were Violet and Klaus cards. And sure, you can post a copy of this.
