Word Games! (in Contests)
QBOddBird
January 6 2009 11:53 AM EST
OK, so I haven't seen any word games in the forums for a while. Here's a fun one.
I'll start us off by posting a word. When you see the word, you will post a word that 'beats' it. For example, water would beat fire, as its natural opposite. When the next person posts, they would post a word that beats the person who beat mine, and so forth and so on.
However!
You must post a word that _indirectly_ defeats it. Instead of saying water, you should post something like...Smokey the Bear, or a shovel, or a fireman. These defeat fire more indirectly.
This is a bit of a silly idea, and not well thought out, but I think it could be fun. So my word is:
Rock!
