Meta-thread: Word association thread

[ShiroKuro]

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....

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.

@Bernard that’s an excellent question. I don’t know the answer

I thought the original rule was no proper nouns.

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

[ShiroKuro]

@wtg you started the thread so I feel like your word goes!

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

[Axtremus]

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

[AndyD]

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?
