A lot like Song Titles - Borrow a Word


  • The goal is to list a quote (could be historical, pop culture, song lyric, anything so long as you cite a reference) with a particular word from a previous post.
  • Ideally, the idea is that the first word of your quote matches the last word of the previous quote, but since this is a forum and not done in person, I see no reason why we can't be more flexible if you get stuck or want to be particularly mean.
  • How about we bold the word borrowed from the previous quote and underline the word you want the next person to use.
  • If more than one person accidentally chain off of the same quote, you can pick either of their underlined words (or be extra awesome and see if you can include all of them!)

So, it'd go something like this:

  • "Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation." ~Oscar Wilde
  • "Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another." ~Ambrose Bierce
  • "Another one bites the dust." ~Queen
  • "All we are is dust in the wind." ~Kansas
  • "I am a leaf on the wind; watch how -" ~Hoban Washburne (too soon, I know)
