Nice one, twickster. Thanks for jumping in so quickly.
I ran the OP (after I had posted it) past Zoe to be sure I had the rules right and she insisted that her version was more fun because in hers you have to go,
No, you’re thinking of a cassock which is a padded cushion or low stool that serves as a foot rest or a seat
No, that’s a hassock which is that swinging couch or bed made of canvas or netting and swung from two supports at the ends
No, that’s a hammock which is an area projecting out of a marsh
No, that’s a __________
The benefit to Zoe’s version is that the previous item is at least hinted at, for the benefit of others who wonder WTF is that?
What is the answer to number one? Because I made that mistake, too, and now it’s driving me crazy.
ETA: Wait, a cassock IS something worn by the clergy. So what is the low stool?

Well, that’s what I said. I believe we have enough Dopers who would prefer the lack of answers as a more challenging way of playing.
I can go either way. Somebody else ought to decide. Assuming anybody else wants to play…

I’ll play – with or without answers, but would prefer without. Or, we could do with spoiler boxes and split the difference. For instance, for my first post, I’d say:
Hammock
I thought that was an area projecting out of a marsh.
Then whoever guessed mine would put that answer in a spoiler box and make the next move.

Nice compromise, twickster. Should allow the maximum of “playability” in what could probably become quite weird before many plies. An added benefit to your way is that including the spoilered answer would keep multiple answers to the same “question” separated, thereby cutting down on the dead-end offshoots.
If it matters, I was thinking of hillock and wondered if somebody else would go with grassy knoll as a clever retort.
But yours is really Hummock right?
In that case, I’ll say that I thought that was one of those gas-guzzling SUV things.
