My friends and I finally got around to trying Adventures this weekend.  It so happened that we ended up playing with Giant, Ranger, and Pilgrimage in sequential games.  We came up with a way to easily alert the other players as to which effect you're getting: if you get the good effect you call the card by the first name; if you get the bad effect you call the card by the second name:
Giant / Midget
Ranger / Mall Cop
Pilgrimage / ?*

* - we decided that the bad effect for Pilgrimage should be "walking down the street to the convenience store and, upon arrival, realizing you forgot your wallet", which we're sure there must be a German word for, we just don't know what it is.

So instead of saying "I play a Giant, and flip over my Journey Token, and now it's face down, so I just get $1", you can just say "I play a Midget" and everyone knows what you mean.

Has anybody else done this already?  We can't be the first people to think of this.

Also would love to hear suggestions for a word to use for the bad effect of Pilgrimage.

[LastFootnote]

I think the only one where it matters is Giant, since it affects other players and its effect for you is invisible. We usually say "Giant for 1" or "Giant for the attack", depending on which it is. For Ranger and Pilgrimage, other players can see you drawing or gaining cards.
