Tennis Elbow Foot
If you've been enjoying the game of "Carnelli", you might like this one too.
Like "Carnelli", "Tennis Elbow Foot" is a game of association. While Carnelli calls for titles, Tennis Elbow Foot works with just words.
Each word must have an association with the immediately preceding word. They may be synonyms (fire/flame) or antonyms (hot/cold). They may be things of the same type (elbow/foot) or be related as part of a well-known expression or phrase (tennis elbow), a well-known title, or even a famous quote (you could respond to "man" with "island" alluding to "no man is an island") or song lyric (spacious/skies).
They may rhyme, or otherwise sound very similar (I'd accept bitter/batter/butter).
Sound-alikes are allowed. You may respond to "knight" with "day". Puns, of course, are encouraged. (So, back to the example used in the intro to Carnelli, you could respond to "tequila" with "mockingbird" as a pun on "To Kill a Mockingbird".)
The idea is to keep it rolling and not leave the next person stuck. Try to stick to single words, two only if you really have to; avoid longer phrases. Avoid proper names. They tend to lead to "how the heck do I respond to THAT?" syndrome and bring the game to a screeching halt.
Extra points (if there were any) for double connections: spring/fling both rhyme and form a common phrase.
As in the Carnelli thread, if the connection is somewhat obscure, explain it briefly instead of leaving people to say "huh?" If you respond to "cigar" with "secretariat", just add "(racehorses)".
