post a word similar in meaning to the word last posted. use a thesaurus if you need it

Here's word#1:

"ancient"

[DoomYoshi]

This game seems silly unless you use a thesaurus. I could post a word that means something similar to ancient and then so would the next person. The word would never change unless a thesaurus was used since thesauri usually give words that aren't actually synonyms. So we would all be educating ourselves to use words that don't actually fit.

So, standard CC procedure would make the first answer "Victor Sullivan" but I will skip that and hop right to a word with a very similar meaning:

word #2:

"ancient"

[shieldgenerator7]

well, I once to a trip through the thesaurus, finding words that were loosely synonymous with a word, and that led me all over the place. That's why I thought this would be interesting. There exist online thesauruses you know.

Word 3: ancient

[DoomYoshi]

well, I once to a trip through the thesaurus, finding words that were loosely synonymous with a word, and that led me all over the place. That's why I thought this would be interesting. There exist online thesauruses you know.

Yea it can lead you all over the place. However, it serves to show the flaw in thesauri. Using online ones is even worse. According to thesaurus.com both "first" and "aboriginal" are synonyms for ancient. Basically, the thesaurus is a lie, online only moreso. Perhaps the other non-false way of advancing the word would be using an antonym thesaurus. However, that is far too radical for me. I will stick to what I know;)

word #4:

"ancient"

Wait, are we saying Victor Sullivan is both ancient AND a n00b? That's so completely contradicting yet true.


He's a fucking oxymoron.

ANCIENT IS NOW A MEME


Oh, and 18. Victor Sullivan

[jonesthecurl]

19. Ancient. Oh, and plagiarism.

[DoomYoshi]

That doesn't make any fucking sense at all

The game got sidetracked as everyone started posting contradictions, rather than things that mean the same. For instance, run and be are both verbs but they don't mean the same thing. Military Intelligence, Iraqi WMDs and Microsoft Works are all contradictions but they don't mean the same thing. This is not Word Association, it's Thesaurus Hunt.

20. ancient
