Before you mentioned _Family Feud_, my mind immediately jumped to trying to think of obscure body parts with Latin names: thyroid gland, talus, thorax (erā€¦ scratch that last one). Then I realized I had to shift gears and think about what John and Jane Q. Public might come up with instead. ā€œThighā€ was the first one I thought of, followed by ā€œtongueā€ and ā€œtonsilsā€. ---

Testicle was the first I thought of, then tibia. I didnā€™t think of toes before I started typing. Didnā€™t think of tongue until I started surveying my own body. Trunk came after that, then tummy (those two being words I donā€™t normally use). Titties came next, as I was going up my body, then finally teeth and temple. Donā€™t ask me why I started with tongue and then jumped to the bottom of my body, without noticing teeth. EDIT: I know why I didnā€™t think of the th- words, as I think phonetically, but I donā€™t know why I didnā€™t think of trachea. ---
