Thread: Word-association cock, sock

I did a thread like this several years ago and it ended up being a bit of a spammer, so I have adapted it for the year 2014. You have a 4 letter word and you have to alter one letter to make a new 4 letter word. You have to make 5 new words before you can submit a post. The goal is cover every 4 letter word in the English language. I shall begin as it is my thread and I must lead by example.

1. Cock
2. Sock
3, Sick
4. Sink
5. Pink

Please continue and if there is a repetition of a word the thread is over. If we make it to make over 200 words, then we shall likely go down as the brainiest forum on the Internet.

Oh, I'm bored and need a rest from contemplating the new world order. I was in the department store yesterday and saw scrabble and it was just too expensive, so I didn't buy it, but I wish I did because I would be having a great time playing on my own right now seeing how many points I can rack up. It's such a great game and is up there with any of the human inventions of the past 200 years. It certainly beats the atomic bomb which is a disgrace and is hanging over all of us like a noose. Scrabble is nothing like a noose, it is freedom and the opportunity to create. The atomic bomb is just the ability to destroy and maim. Language is freedom, the bomb is tyranny. Scrabble does have its limitations though. For instance, you cannot just make up words and it would be cheating to mix languages.

This post is just an excuse for me to play the word association game some more. Here I go, you try and stop me.

6. Wink
7. Wank
8. Tank
9. Bank
10. Bark

There we go, a few naughty words in there already. I haven't been planning this, the words really are quite spontaneous.

That is a very good picture, but it has confused me immensely. How about another 5 words? I know the psychiatrists out there are itching to see the next words that will arise from the deepest, darkest trenches of perhaps one of the greatest minds ever seen on this planet commonly referred to as earth.

11. Bard
12. Lard
13. Land
14. Sand
15. Sane

Thank you and goodnight.

16 Fane
17 Fame
18 Dame
19 Dime
20 Dine

They were a bit boring. Sorry.

Good stuff, my dear fellow. The game tends to get a bit hard in places, maybe that's when Greenbeanz comes to the rescue with his notebook of lyric rhymes.

21. Dane
22. Pane
23. Wane
24. Wine
25. Wind

Pick up from the last word of the last person.

I was sure this would be one of Brocktons threads, but I get it. Miles wants the forum to know cock was the first word on his mind, nothing more.

Now, is this in fact to gay to hold merit in next years forum gay race? I think yes.

Darn it, the cover is blown yet again. There I was thinking I was being subtle and introducing a word game and only subliminally dropping words like cock into the title. Oh well......all out now....

I liked your words Spicoli, it is a nifty sequence. However, we must follow on from the previous 5. So, here's 5 more.

26. Wing
27. King
28. Kind
29. Rind
30. Rink

35 tint

The only willing player! Though Spicoli tried, bless him.

36. Tilt
37. Hilt
38. Hill
39. Bill
40. Kill

40, not bad. I sometimes do this as a quick vocab check with lower level learners and 40 is a fair number. But we are adults and native speakers, we must get to 200!
