    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.

    The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

      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 โ€œglad you owe usโ€ is more than one word, or I wouldโ€™ve used it as a response to gladiolusโ€ฆ

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

          Foiled again!

            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.
