mike's word: backpedaling
joon's word: tumbleweed

Discuss.

  1. What's wrong with me? I came up with "backpedal" for Mike's word, but adding an -ing to it never even crossed my mind. Sometimes I feel like I'm going senile--and I'm only 56!

  2. tumble
    tut
    tussle
    tusk
    tuppence
    tun
    tumult
    tumid
    tumescence
    tumbril
    tumbler
    tumbling

    What was this? Compound word day? Add an -ing Week?
    I had 'tumble' at #13 and unraveled from there.
    I had backstab, backpack, backfill, backlash, (not in that order) but when you get to 20, it's time to backpedal.

  3. mike's queue is still empty, so his word today (and yesterday) were both randomly chosen words from the dictionary. hence the random -ing.

    i make no apologies for my own choice of "tumbleweed". i think it's a cool word and pretty different from "tumble". for that matter, "tumbler" is also a pretty different word.

  4. Who asked you to apologize? It was strange that both words were compound words.
    Def a cool word, but more satisfying if it happens to come to mind at the right moment, eh?
