The mostly politically correct word association game

[[This thread is a rather mundane yet usually quite amusing game. The game is basically: one person posts a word and the next person posts a word that comes to mind because of it i.e.
me: Banana
other guy: Apple

If it’s a particularly odd leap in association it’s customary, but not required, to explain the leap in parenthesis afterwards.
i.e.
Apple
Fire Truck (Apple -> Red -> Firetruck is probably how I made that connection)

Some quick notes:
If two people answer the same post, the second poster should not edit because it can get confusing, likewise the next poster should respond to the second poster, pretending as if his association (no matter how much of a non sequitur) was for the word directly above his.

If you want to chat or make a quick note/question it’s customary to use what amounts to RP OOC tags which are ((double parentheses) or [[Double Brackets]] to distinguish whats an association and what’s a comment.

Names, and short multi-word phrases/terms are okay, but shouldn’t get longer than two or three words.

Have fun!]]
