    Question: Are proper names allowed in the Word association thread? I have avoided using them, but sometimes they are the first to pop into my mind.

    I thought the original rule was no proper nouns.

    My personal opinion is that rule is silly and that anything goes!

        Ok, but no improper nouns. This is a family forum.

          Oh sure, you say that after posting the word “mate.”

            Are doubles 'allowed'? After Jon so politely posted "thank you" they must be.

            And is this the place to ask what the association is is even Google can't help?

                i’m not sure we even ever agreed on what the penalties are for incorrectly posting to that thread.

                  Mirror man was an iconic street character in the 60s and 70s in SF who would sit on the sidewalk all day with two mirrors aimed toward each other and try to look into it just right to see infinity.

                    I wanted to post “sneaker” after fuego but I suspected no one would get the reference.

                      @jon-nyc 'Mirror Man" was also a Capt. Beefheart song title. Maybe a reference to this character?

                            For a while now, I have felt we might benefit from a meta-thread about the Word association thread... Some might not agree though. Maybe the word association thread is like the Fight Club..... The first rule of Fight Club is...

                            But sometimes y'all are so funny, I laugh out loud. And loudly!

                            (looking at you @dougg ...

                            So maybe I'm breaking a taboo with this thread, but I couldn't help it....

                                So I make a post to the word association thread, and the first phrase WTG thinks of is “dim wit”.

                                unfortunately, I’m not smart enough to figure out if I should be offended…

                                    dang it. I don’t think there are any words that any of us could possibly think of that rhyme with “shucks.”

                                        @DougG Had the word. It was on the tip of my tongue. Sadly, I _______ lost it.
