Every stegosaurus that we've ever found has been consistently dead.

Zephyr

Zephyr is a wind consistently going west.


gum

You can blow a bubble in gum with moving air, and a zephyr is moving air.

Sun

They've both got three letters with "u" in the middle...

Tenant

That is... REALLY stretching it, Espy. XD But I'll allow it.

The Earth is a tenant of the Sun's planetary system.

Megaphone

Pfft, how's that stretching it? Fine, fine, sun and gun are both found in excess in the shabbier neighborhoods around San Jose.

Tenants and megaphones can both get really loud, really quick, and then Espy gets really pissed. -wheezes-thatoneinternship-wheezes-

Catnip

Cat encounters catnip. Pupils take on the rough circumference of a megaphone speaker.

Nickel.

MUCH better!

I can buy a small packet of catnip at the store for a few nickels.

Rubbery

Nickle has the word "nick" which I used in the word "nicked" meaning "hit" or that I took something from someone, and I got nicked by a rubber band, which was rubbery.

Neptune.

Neptune is the sea God that has a trident, trident is a bubblegum brand - and bubblegums are pretty rubbery.


grammar

Hmm. That's a good one...

Grammar controls how words flow. Neptune controls how the seas flow.

Football

You mean you never played grammar football games?

Blanketfish

American football has a different name than the football in Europe, and Blanket fish might have a different name.

Belt.

Blanketfish are also known as manta rays, which are sometimes hunted for their skins to make leather, which is used to make belts (among other things).

Flare

Some people use belts with their initials or gold trinkets to add flare to the nether regions.

audit

An audit can really flare up one's temper.

fetish.

C'mon, fetish is a wild card word xD who's to say there's no fetish in being audited?


mother

Some people might have a mother fetish. More specifically a person-acting/dressing-motherly fetish.

storm

Well, there's a thing we call mother nature, and it is said that when she's angry, she causes a storm.

Medusa

The word for that is "flair", not "flare". Close enough, though.

My answer for audit+flare would have been: When you audit something, you're looking for red flags. When signaling at night, you use flares instead of flags for visibility.

Medusa and Storm are both fictional characters with supernatural powers.

Lunar

I looked it up on an online dictionary. We use "Flare" for temper because angry and not "flair".

Oops. Sorry, I didn't communicate clearly. I meant those two sentences to be separate from each other, one a correction (to the post before yours, not to yours) and one an unrelated idea I had while I was reading the thread.

(Oh... oops! Well, thanks for the clarification.)

Medusa appears in some Greek myths and I think Athena has her head in a bag or something. Athena is a goddess. Artemis is another goddess, and she happens to be the goddess of the moon.

Prickly

EDIT: The word before that was lunar if you don't want to read up :P

I mean, I imagine the lunar surface would be very prickly.

Adjourn

I would have said "The crescent moon has two points, and points are prickly."

A tense board meeting should adjourn before its participants get too prickly.

Ocean

When you work by the beach, I imagine you adjourn meetings a lot to see the ocean.


scissors

When most people swim in the ocean, they use a scissor kick to propel themselves.

Plutonium

Plutonium is a metal. Scissors can be made of metal. Do no make scissors out of plutonium.


Snowman.

Yes, I agree, making scissors out of plutonium sounds like a distinctly bad idea.

Plutonium is used to make long-lasting heaters for space missions, so that probes and rovers don't turn into snowmen.

Radishes

THEY'RE BOTH ROUND

Stethoscope

I could also point out that stethoscopes are round, too. But they also lead up into a tube that branches out, much like radishes.

Stinks

Yeah, I wasn't really thinking there.

Stethoscope tubing's (usually?) made out of rubber, and most rubber things stink to me.

Dalliance

If you dally instead of taking a shower, you will stink.

Coyote

Dalliance is to have a romantic or sexual relation with someone or something, so having dalliance with an animal could be illegal, and coyotes are animals.

quiescent

You forgot to name a new word.

quiescent.

Lazy coyote is quiescent...and they both start with a hard 'c.'


button

Many electronic devices remain quiescent until you press a button.

Beefy

I'd love to press some buttons on beefy dudes.
What?
