gum

polysaccharide

(see if that does it)

polysaccharide

(see if that does it)

Not sure if this fits the spirit

Seems to be a synonym, not a natural follow to "gum"

Changing to synonyms makes this game even easier... polysaccharides are carbohydrates, right?

I think polysaccharide typically comes before 'gum,' not after. In any event, I'll keep it going with -

chain

Let's see if someone can come up with an entry that will stop this thread, i.e. there's no word that makes sense when added on. I thought "monkee" might do it, and I wasn't sure about "monkee man", but then I discovered that there's a band called Monkeeman.

Monkeeman threw a monkee wrench in the whole thing...

Rule violation! The word must follow the preceding word and form a two-word phrase or name.

Coincidentally, I stumbled onto a game show today that does this. It's called "Chain Reaction." A board with seven word slots is set up. They give you the first word and the last word. It's up to you to guess the next word in either direction. For example:

1. Friendly
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Effective

You can guess at #2 ("friendly... ") or #6 ("effective ..."). As each word is filled in, you move on to the next pair (#2 and #3, or #6 and #5, and so on.)

The two chains don't exactly meet in the middle. If the only open slot left is #4, you can guess a word that goes with either #3 or #5. It would be pretty hard (I think) to find many phrases where a word works as either the first word or the second word.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I followed the rules, but in a bit of an obscure fashion. I had in mind a professor identifying the common word with the scientific term for the same word, and thus one would absolutely follow the other. But it's a stretch.

I like the Chain Reaction idea. Would be fun to do a baseball version:

1. Barry
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Bonds

or something like that.

1. Barry

3.
4.
5.
6.
7. Bonds

or something like that.

I also shoveled the half-inch of snow we got.

lol. What did that take you 10 min. lmao

There's a quicker (than shoveling) way to get rid of a half inch of snow.
