Meta-thread: Word association thread

[Bernard]

eft

A few posts back was not "Escape From Tarkov" or "Emotionally Focused Therapy".

In case there was any doubt about my meaning, an eft is one of these... I find them in the wood pile once in a while.

I googled and guessed therapy

Wouldn't it be cool to use the word association thread to write a story? One would have to add a sentence at a time using one or more words from the thread--in order, starting with post number one. I guess navigating the thread and keeping track of the current word/post number would be tricky though.

Another fun thing about the thread is when a word pops up that you know/recognize but never use or rarely see.

"Vainglorious" is one of those words.

the thread sort of reminds you "oh yeah, that word." There are lots of fun words in English!

unfortunately, the technical banking expression “glad you owe us” is more than one word, or I would’ve used it as a response to gladiolus…

@shirokuro The word I was looking for was "Nelson"!

Foiled again!

[Daniel]

And there's a rule about not using proper nouns? That's not fun. A word is a word.

I meant "night" not "dark"...

@shirokuro Great minds! We must have posted at the same time.

[ShiroKuro]

@bernard I would have missed it if you hadn't pointed that out!
