Word Association Game

[byhammerandhand]

Let's try the word association game !

The rules are simple. It starts with a single word, and you respond with a single associated word.  For instance, if the word is "hot", the next person could respond with "rod", and the next could respond with "fishing" and so on. Easy ?

If you've read this far, you might as well play [umm, yes, this would fall in the not important and not urgent quadrant]

Now, just type in a single word associated with the last word and let's see how many associations we can make.

So.. here's the first word:

Upholstery

[sofadoc]

poverty

[sofadoc]

OK, I'll play right.

SHOP

[Mike]

Hours

[MinUph]

of

[kodydog]

mice

[SteveA]

fabric

[Darren Henry]

Land

Local fabric shop called fabricland.

Ho!

[Virgs Sew n Sew]

streetwalker (think Eddie Murphy SNL - Velvet Jones - "You too can be a ho")

[sofadoc]

OK, I'm confused.............Time Out!!

Are we supposed to give a word that normally follows the previous word in a sentence or phrase? Ex. HOT ROD

OR........can we pick a word that merely reminds us of something associated with the previous word or phrase? Ex. HO  STREETWALKER

Actually, you guys may have just re-written history. Perhaps when Chris Columbus peered through his telescope, he was announcing to his crew that the first 2 things he saw were soil and a prostitute.

I'm ready to throw a flag on SteveA. Unless he has a serious rodent problem in his shop, I don't see how you go from "mice" to "fabric".

Anxiously awaiting a ruling from His Grand High Exalted Hammerness.

Rant over........Time back in (pick up with "Streetwalker")

Back on track,

"Furniture"

Man, it would be so easy to go back to the first word.  However:

recover

Virginia

[byhammerandhand]

Any kind of "association" - part of a phrase, synonym, homonym, related, adjective-noun, adverb-verb, subject-verb, verb-object, etc.


recover -> economy
