This isn't part of the oppressed association, but I just wanted to comment that the class that meets in my room on my prep period discussed that poem yesterday! Yay randomness. That is all.

Um, I don't think this really works. The goal is to take the last half of the compound word/phrase that comes before, and make it the first half of a new compound word/phrase.

So for example "shade tree." (or something like that, but less pedestrian.)

Soo... would you be using theory next, or attraction?

Whichever one floats.

Edit: that was a colloquialism. I meant "It's up to the next player"

But that includes neither theory nor attraction. I am oppressing you by saying you did it wrong.

Tailor ---does that work? Technically two words smushed, but not exactly a compound word....

I have no idea how that fit in. Sorry people!
