Today I was tagged by Jono over at *insert witty title here* to play a word association game.
Here are the five words provided for me, followed by my associations:
- Stick — Post-It
- Bottle — Message
- Mint — Listerine
- Camera — Lens
- Trolley — San Francisco
I hereby dissolve myself from any conclusions anyone might make — trained or otherwise — regarding these thoughts from my subconscious. It's disturbing to me, however, that 3/5 of my answers are proper nouns. Two companies and one city. Perhaps I'm merely a product of television and advertisements. At least my Trolley answer wasn't Rice-A-Roni (the San Francisco treat).
And now, I pass the torch along to 5 more bloggers. Here are the 5 random words for them:
- Kumquat — ?
- Gobbledygook — ?
- Lollygag — ?
- Diphthong — ?
- Masticate — ?
You can always count on me to be less traditional and more eccentric than the rest.
And here are the five bloggers I am tagging:
Of course, these five wonderful people are obligated to post their responses on their own blog, choose five new words, and tap five other people to play!
OK, so I cheated and picked not-so-random words. All the words I selected were from my list of 100+ Fun Words to Say. So sue me! (Disclaimer: By "sue," what I really mean is "place no legal action against.")
