Copycat, copycat!
I saw this on Michelle's Thursday post on Southern Fried Chicas and thought, I have to try that!
I've done this, kinda-sorta, with my students before in small groups, but never thought of using it as a blog post. The kids always have a blast . . .
And I couldn't resist doing it here!
Here's the deal:
Leave me a word (or words) in the comments. Really, I'd prefer PG-13 words, but I can handle a handful of R-rated words. I have to use all contributions in a story for next Friday's post.
So . . . the comments are open! Contribute away!

You know, at my chapter blog the other day (www.mwvrwa.blogspot.com), we had a discussion about authors who use obnoxiously large words to show off their superior vocabulary and how much we all hate it. I'm looking at this list and dying. I know a handful of these words, the rest I have to look up. This story will be a doosie, and what's sad is I'll have to have dictionary.com open to understand any of it!
If ya'll (as Lin would say) use these words in conversation on a regular basis, then I feel really really really stupid.
You asked for it, Lin. But secretly I still feel sorry for you. :-D
Oh, my God.
You people are . . . well, I'm without words. ;-)
This is going to be fun (and challenging!)
I've done this with my students too. I always love seeing the results.
Skunk, Pink, dance
Ha Ha Ha Ha,
Dippitydoda.
Ollyollyoxenfree
abracadabra
supercallifragilelistic
btw-- the correct spelling for these words is optional. lol
And I can not wait to read this story. . .
Gee,Theresa, neither can I . . .I think I need to start writing TONIGHT!
Okay! We're at 28 . . . I'll take TWO more words and close the list at 30. I mean, I'm writing a story, not a novel!

Chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
altered, popcorn, gossip
LOL I love it. Going to read
