Drop The Ball

[Aesop]

Did you ever play that game where you throw a ball around and see how long you can go without dropping it? This game is like that-but with words. I'm going to post a word and the next poster has to post a different word that contains all the letters in the word I posted. The poster after that has to post a new word that contains all the letters of the second word and so on until somebody drops the ball and then we start over. The first word is:

a

[Prpackaged]

In Greek that would be alpha Should we use all of those letters. instead of the single a? And what are the rewards for droping the ball?

[submissivewife]

an

(do I have this right?)

[SpikesKitten]

and? o.o;

[Prpackaged]

and with h to hand

[chromedome11]

handy

[Ozme52]

shandy (beer and lemonade)


Aesop?? Can you add more than a single letter?

[Aesop]

shandy (beer and lemonade)


Aesop?? Can you add more than a single letter?

As many as you like.

handsomely

[Aesop]

unhandsomely is the only word I can think of to follow that. And that's barely a word. lol So lets start over.

to

[submissivewife]

total

[goodlilcowgirl]

totally

[Aesop]

teetotally

[sm4hg]

teetotally

I didn't know this was an already existing word... so what does it mean?

[sm4hg]

Oh, by the way....
I'd suggest TOLERANTLY... :)

[Aesop]

Tee·to·tal·ly
adv.

Entirely; totally. [Colloq.]

There's the definition of the word, but as far as I'm concerned anybody after us can use either teetotally or tolerantly to keep the ball in the air.:)

[sm4hg]

Thanks for enlightening me. :) My dictionary doesn't have these colloquial entries. :(

Oh, I've got another question: Does the continuation have to be just a single word or can it be devided in two (or more) words?

[Aesop]

I think we should keep it at one word.:)

[submissivewife]

I can't think of away to make a word out of TEETOTALY or TOLARANTLY so I think well drop that ball and start another.

offer

[sujet]

heheh cute game. A bit different than we play at home, but same aspect :)

Ad a couple letters to that and you have:

Officers

[goodlilcowgirl]

officiaters

i thinks thats how you spell it ?

[Aesop]

Actually no it's spelled officiator so you dropped the ball. That's okay though. :)

I'll pick it back up again changing officer to

coiffeur

a male hair stylest for anybody that wants to know


and no I won't tell you how I know that. lol

[goodlilcowgirl]

Officers

[Aesop]

Hahahahaha! So I did. How this?

coiffeurs

More than one male hair dresser and I'm still not going to tell you how I know that.

[goodlilcowgirl]

lol now ya got it :p

but I don't know of another letter to add to it so um start over?

[Ozme52]

NO!!!


or ON. Doesn't matter which word. LOL

[submissivewife]

Hahahahaha! So I did. How this?
