GAME THREAD: What word does this word make you think of?

[^_^ 5,021]

The rules are simple. I will start the thread off with a word. A single word. Not an expression or phrase. Not a numeric or an image or a video.

ONE WORD. In the English language as commonly understood in 21st century North America (please, no medieval English).

You read the word and respond with ONE WORD that pops into your head when you read mine.

The next poster will do the same.

Please keep your responses limited to SINGLE WORDS with all the limitations described above.

Thank you for your cooperation.

And now I'll start this off.

This is a new game so tell me, should we allow proper nouns? I think no.

Kathryn has banned all games that post a members name, nickname, or refer to a member in any way.

Going to restart?

[^_^ 5,021]

Yes let's add to the rules... NO PROPER NOUNS.

I'll start again with a new word.

Please, no punctuation. That is against game thread rules. This is a new game so I won't report the violation.

Try again.
