Topic Wiki

The game is played as follows:
One player starts off with two words. The next post has to include one of the previous two words (It doesn't matter which) with one new word, making a new phrase. Each new phrase stands alone and does not have to have any connection with the previous phrase besides for sharing one word.

For example:
1st = Limited Time
2nd = Dinner Time
3rd = Time Out
4th = Out field
You get the point.....

Some rules:

1. Each post should contain only two words
2. Breaking up words like neighborhood to neighbor hood is not allowed
3. The two words have to produce a phrase that makes sense; "Pizza Boots" would not be an eligible post, as that really doesn't make any sense.
4. One is allowed to make up their own phrase as long as it makes sense.
5. The word being kept is allowed to be changed from plural to singular or vice versa in order to make the new phrase work.
6. Names are allowed to be used as phrases.
7. There is no limit to how many times a single word can be used.

A joke
There's a separate thread for that!

Keep a word/ Drop a word Game

So, this is how you play, I'll start off with two words, your post has to include one of those words (no matter before or after), and add another one on. That is to say, the next phrase you post should contain 2 words only. For example...

1st = Limited Time
2nd = Dinner Time
3rd = Time Out
4th = Out field
5th = Field ball

Continue....
I think we need to update the rules on whether breaking up words is allowed, and whether one can make up their own phrases. Another option is to create another thread with similar rules but 3 word phrases.

Also, can the word being kept be changed (plural to single or vice versa) and are names allowed as phrases?

I defer to the OP of this thread to update the rules.

And what about homophones?

You've just acquired a fan. I am a big fan of education!

Maybe Betsy Devos could hire you as an adviser. ;)
