Last Letters #1

[admin]

A few folks have asked if we could start up a simple "Last Letters" game on the forums just for kicks, so here you go! For those who aren't familiar with the game, its simple - you start with a word, any word, and then everyone tries to create a new word using the last letters of the previous word. The more letters you use, the more impressed your fellow players will be. An example:

GHERKIN

KINSHIP

SHIPMATE

.... and so on. If you want to be clever, you can try to create a word that ends in a series of letters that would be quite difficult to begin a new word with. And if you get stuck, just start with the last letter and begin anew. See how long the chain can last!

I'll begin this thread with a word - anyone can feel free to join in. Have fun!

HALOGEN ....

Thanks!!!

Since I asked this to be added I guess its incumbent upon me to play the first turn, eh? :cool:

ZEPHYR

[admin]

Just for kicks why don't we try to make a sentence with each new word pair? i.e.

ZEPHYR ==> HYRAX

"The HYRAX twitched its nose lazily to catch the first sweet-smelling ZEPHYR of the day."

[bionicflutist]

HYRAX ==> XYLOPHONE


The HYRAX was a gifted XYLOPHONE player.

[memee]

toper

[memee]

oops - read the wrong page
hangs head in shame................

memee

[TexasAngel]

Xylophone ==> Honeymoon

He played the xylophone on their honeymoon and she was very impressed. ;) :D

[chiman]

honeymoon.......moonlight

on their HONEYMOON they went skinny dipping in the MOONLIGHT

[TexasAngel]

Has everyone quit? Are we making them to simple? :)

Moonlight ==> Lightning

The reflection of the moonlight on the pond and the lightning bugs signaling in the dark brought back memories of a childhood long forgotten.

[bionicflutist]

Lightning ==> Ingestible

Did you know that lightning bugs are ingestible? ;)

[TexasAngel]

ingestible ==> blepharitis

Eating ingestible lightning bugs cannot keep you from getting blepharitis. :)

[mandc]

blepharitis==>tissues

BLEPHARITIS adversley affects the TISSUES

[bionicflutist]

TISSUES ==> ESSENTIAL


TISSUES are ESSENTIAL when one has a cold.

[tonytypes]

ESSENTIAL==> ALLITERATION

it is ESENTIAL for the initial letters of most words in a sentence to be the
same for ALLITERATION to occur.

[hollygolfs]

ALLITERATION==> RATIONAL

the RATIONAL for ALLITERATION is to improve pronunciation of certain letters and sounds

(my first time, if this incorrect will someone let me know)

[bionicflutist]

RATIONAL ==> ALWAYS

It is RATIONAL to ALWAYS be on time.

(hollygolfs -- in your sentence it would be spelled "rationale." Other than that you did it right. :))

[Crovax]

ALWAYS ==> WAYSIDE

...Can't think of a witty sentence though.

[mkreynolds]

WAYSIDE ==> SIDEREAL

Meandering along the WAYSIDE, the young person pondered the SIDEREAL nature of the heavens.

[mandc]

SIDEREAL==>REALIZE
we had to look up SIDEREAL in the dictionary to REALIZE its meaning

[bionicflutist]

REALIZE ==> ZEBRA

I REALIZE that the ZEBRA is native to Africa.

[mandc]

ZEBRA == >BRASSIERES

A ZEBRA would look very strange wearing BRASSIERES

[TexasAngel]

BRASSIERES ==>> RESIDENTS

BRASSIERES are not worn by RESIDENTS in some countries.

[mkreynolds]

RESIDENTS==>TSETSE

RESIDENTS of Africa fear the bite of the TSETSE.

[1whiterose]

moonlight - lightyear

[chiman]

TSETSE ==>SEQUINS

a TSETSE in SEQUINS would be a strange sight

[Crovax]

SEQUINS -> INSTANCE

One INSTANCE where SEQUINS might be appropriate would be at a ball.

[taloula]

INSTANCE ==> CELERY

In this INSTANCE the CELERY was not eaten.

[chiman]

CELERY==> RYE

CELERY is nice with RYE bread

[bionicflutist]

RYE bread isn't supposed to be the color of YELLOW mustard.

[lubbayum]

YELLOW is sometimes the LOWEST color on the rainbow

[Nafets]

The LOWEST latitude at which you'll find the WESTERLIES is around 35 degrees.

[lubbayum]

WESTERLIES often LIES about his age. :D

[mkreynolds]

RYE ==> YESTERDAY

I bought some delicious RYE bread YESTERDAY.

[mkreynolds]

LIES ==> ESPECIALLY

My computer sometimes LIES, ESPECIALLY about which post was the most recent one.

[Nafets]

ESPECIALLY ==> ALLYLIC

Some ALLYLIC compounds, ESPECIALLY allyl chloride, are toxic.

[mkreynolds]

ALLYLIC ==> LICENSE

If an ALLYLIC compound is toxic, does one need a LICENSE in order to purchase it?

[mandc]

LICENSE ==>SELECTION

He was given LICENSE to sell his SELECTION of liquor

[Joesgirl]

SELECTION>>>IONIZATION

My SELECTION to improve air quality is IONZIATION.

[mkreynolds]

IONIZATION ==> ONLY

I agree -- IONIZATION is the ONLY way to go.

[debbiedoo]

LYING==>

LYING is a surefire way to lose a FRIEND.

[Nafets]

LYING -> INGLENOOK

The old dog LYING in the INGLENOOK lifted his head and wagged his tail.

[debbiedoo]

INGLENOOK==>NOOKIE

NOOKIE is the obvious choice to follow the previous WORD.

[mkreynolds]

If NOOKIE occurs in New Zealand forests, perhaps it is screened by the cane-like stems of the KIEKIE plant.

[AdamsMuse]

KIEKIE==>>KIELBASA

Among the canelike stems of the KIEKIE may be a good place for a picnic with grilled KIELBASA and french bread.

[bionicflutist]

KIELBASA ==> SALAMANDER

The KIELBASA was eaten by the SALAMANDER.

[AdamsMuse]

DERANGED==> LOCKDOWN

DERANGED criminals are kept in LOCKDOWN.

[bionicflutist]

DERANGED==> LOCKDOWN

DERANGED criminals are kept in LOCKDOWN.

I don't think this is following the rules of the game :confused:



SALAMANDER ==> ANDERSON

The owner of the SALAMANDER is named ANDERSON.

[Biloxidebbie]

ANDERSON==>SONAR

Mr. ANDERSON uses SONAR on his boat.

[Nafets]

SONAR --> NARWHAL

Does a NARWHAL use SONAR?

[Biloxidebbie]

NARWHAL==>>WHALINIG

I don't know if the NARWHAL uses sonar but I know WHALING ships do.

[mkreynolds]

WHALING ==> INGOT

I wonder if WHALING ships would have an INGOT or two aboard for ballast.

[torriblezone]

ingot => gotten

She had GOTTEN a silver INGOT amid the inheritance.

[Biloxidebbie]

The Salvation Army worker found that she had GOTTEN her kindness back TENFOLD.

[torriblezone]

It was sheer FOLDEROL that the chain letter would increase his fortune TENFOLD.

[Mawmaw]

FOLDEROL==>ROLLAWAY

My aunts had ROLLAWAY beds that were very UNCOMFORTABLE!

[torriblezone]

ROLLAWAY=>WAYFARER

The WAYFARER found herself in many a ROLLAWAY bed.

[mkreynolds]

WAYFARER ==> ERRONEOUSLY

The WAYFARER ERRONEOUSLY identified the rollaway as an erogenous zone.

[Biloxidebbie]

We ERRONEOUSLY allowed the chicken coop to be left open, only to lose two chickens to the fox's SLYNESS.

[mandc]

SLYNESS > ESSENTIAL

SLYNESS is ESSENTIAL for the fox to catch its prey.

[HoumaGirl]

It is ESSENTIAL that you stay out of the swamps in Houma, LA if you don't want to come face to face with an ALLIGATOR.

[torriblezone]

ALLIGATOR > TOREADOR

In an increasingly pathetic bid for adventure, torriblezone went straight from her disaster as a TOREADOR, to an even more ridiculous stint as ALLIGATOR wrestler.

[mkreynolds]

TOREADOR ==> DORMOUSE

Even as the TOREADOR flashed her red cape, internally she was quivering like a DORMOUSE.

[HoumaGirl]

The shy woman stopped being a DORMOUSE and shed her MOUSELIKE demeanor.

[bionicflutist]

MOUSELIKE ==> KENYA

The MOUSELIKE lady recently went on a safari vacation in KENYA.

[HoumaGirl]

On our trip to KENYA we had to resist the urge to yell YAHOO each time we saw a new animal!

[Nafets]

The YAHOO was HOODWINKED by the sly merchant.

[torriblezone]

hoodwinked > kedgeree

They abandoned the KEDGEREE when they found they had been HOODWINKED by the offer of cream cake.

[mkreynolds]

KEDGEREE ==> REEVE

The KEDGEREE was pronounced delicious by the REEVE of the village.

[Crovax]

REEVE ==> EVERGREEN

The REEVE liked that EVERGREEN trees did not lose their leaves.

[mkreynolds]

EVERGREEN ==> ENTIRE

The EVERGREEN growing in the yard is taking up the ENTIRE garden.

[HoumaGirl]

The ENTIRE crew from the power company worked TIRELESSLY to restore power after Katrina.

[debbiedoo]

After working TIRELESSLY through the night in the woods, one of the crew developed LYME disease.

[mandc]

In cases of LYME disease, prompt MEDICAL attention is needed.

[bionicflutist]

The MEDICAL care at the local hospital is ALWAYS top notch.

[debbiedoo]

I ALWAYS hope that the use of good manners does not fall by the WAYSIDE.

[mandc]

Falling by the WAYSIDE can be DECADENT.

[Crovax]

Falling by the WAYSIDE can be DECADENT.

If everyone lived a DECADENT life, it would lead to ENTROPY.

[debbiedoo]

Thanks for playing the word ENTROPY, which provided the first letters for PYROMANIAC

[Nafets]

After eating his NIACIN-rich cereal, the PYROMANIAC burned the box it had been in.

[debbiedoo]

After eating his NIACIN-rich cereal the pyromaniac went to the CINEMA to see Backdraft.

[Joesgirl]

After returning from the CINEMA the gardener found NEMATODES in some of his plants.

[mkreynolds]

NEMATODES ==> DESPERADO

The NEMATODES were introduced to the garden by a DESPERADO who came out of the west, wearing a big sombrero and a polka-dotted vest.

[Joesgirl]

The DESPERADO had been exposed to RADON gas somewhere in his travels.

[Biloxidebbie]

If you are exposed to RADON gas, you may soon have to DONATE your belongings to someone who can use them!

[AdamsMuse]

Do not DONATE your belongings unless you determine that the condition is TERMINAL!

[torriblezone]

The onus is INALIENABLE when the diagnosis is TERMINAL.

[Mawmaw]

INALIENABLE rights to freedom in our country kept us from BLEAK circumstances in the the countries of our forefathers.

[AdamsMuse]

Our outlook wasn't as BLEAK on our first trip with our newborn as we had LEAKPROOF diapers!

[X_x]

The ROOFERS failed to make our roof LEAKPROOF.

[bionicflutist]

ROOFERS ==> ERSTWHILE

The ROOFERS were not only former business partners but were also ERSTWHILE friends.

[Mawmaw]

Meanwhile, some of our other ERSTWHILE friends WHILED away the time in the swimming pool while the roof was being repaired.

[X_x]

As our friends WHILED their time away, my brother was busy trying on various pairs of LEDERHOSEN shorts.

[mkreynolds]

LEAKPROOF ==> ROOFTREE

LEAKPROOF diapers are important, but it's even worse when the ROOFTREE leaks!

[chiman]

LEDERHOSEN are not SENSIBLE wear for walking out in a Siberian winter.

[mkreynolds]

SENSIBLE ==> BLESSING

I am SENSIBLE of the BLESSING of having a computer, even when I want to blame it for incorrect posts.

[torriblezone]

She could not be convinced it was a BLESSING when her hairdo was SINGED.

[Mawmaw]

It was a lucky thing that the supermodel's hair was not SINGED before her appearance in the swimsuit EDITION of Sports Illustrated!

[mandc]

the first EDITION became the ONSET of a collection

[Mawmaw]

The ONSET of people wanting freedom relulted in SETTLERS creating towns across the entire country.

[X_x]

The SETTLERS were known to drink ERSATZ coffee.

[torriblezone]

TZIGANE was the number one request from the ERSATZ coffee drinkers in the dark cafe.

[bionicflutist]

TZIGANE ==> ANECDOTE

The TZIGANE music was set to a popular ANECDOTE.

[mkreynolds]

ANECDOTE ==> TENDED

The traveler's ANECDOTE TENDED to grow with each repetition.

[torriblezone]

The autodidact TENDED to lecture, for the EDIFICATION of her miserable chidren.

[AdamsMuse]

EDIFICATION can be ONEROUS to people who aren't open to the idea.

[torriblezone]

There was a ROUSING jeer for the ONEROUS command.

[mandc]

A ROUSING cheer was given when the SINGULARITY was found by the astronomer.

[AdamsMuse]

The SINGULARITY of the actor's looks and demeanor caused him to become TYPECAST as a villain.

[chiman]

to be TYPECAST could be STULTIFYING

[AdamsMuse]

The STULTIFYING symptoms of autism are sometimes INGRAINED at birth.

[debbiedoo]

The knowledge that is INGRAINED in school may need to be adapted when real life EDUCATION begins.

[Joesgirl]

A good EDUCATION will teach you interesting facts, such as, the top of IONIC columns curve like a ram's horn.

[mkreynolds]

IONIC ==> NICTITATE

The majestic IONIC columns caused the young woman's eyes to NICTITATE in wonder.

[Mawmaw]

When her eyes began to NICTITATE, the woman TERMINATED her viewing of the columns.

[Joesgirl]

The news reporter was TERMINATED for EDITORIALIZING.

[HoumaGirl]

EDITORIALIZING can set you up for ZINGERS aimed at your professionalism.

[mandc]

The ZINGERS were aimed at her ERSTWHILE colleagues.

[torriblezone]

The ERSTWHILE botanizers gave a prize of a silver LEAF to the winner
of the scavenger hunt.

[mandc]

the LEAF was blown off the tree and FELL into the water

[X_x]

She FELL into a somber mood when she noticed a LLAMA eating her prized flowers.

[AdamsMuse]

The LLAMA had AMASSED a secret stockpile of the flowers and continued to eat even after being chased away.

[mandc]

the AMASSED pile of SEDGE grass was soon eaten by the farm animals

[torriblezone]

Some GEEZERS were poking around the SEDGE, nosily seeking evidence of the rumored tryst.

[AdamsMuse]

While the geezers were poking around in the SEDGE they found a few blue GENTIAN flowers.

[HoumaGirl]

The geezers also spotted some GENTIAN flowers in ANOTHER location.

[Joesgirl]

There was not ANOTHER line in the store-OTHERWISE I would have changed lanes due to slow service!

[torriblezone]

It took a master WISEACRE to break the OTHERWISE somber ambience.

[AdamsMuse]

There were numerous WISEACRE comments at the city council meeting regarding the aquisition of extra ACREAGE around the high school.

[Biloxidebbie]

While walking through the ACREAGE we just purchased, we found a large GEODE.

[debbiedoo]

To open the GEODE, you run the risk of it being DESTROYED in the process.

[chiman]

The meaning of the book was DESTROYED in the EDITING process

[torriblezone]

The grateful author thanked the benevolent GODS for the excellent EDITING skills of her new friend, Nan.

[Biloxidebbie]

The editing GODS were a GODSEND to the author!

[HoumaGirl]

It was a GODSEND that the team's SENDOFF was not rained out.

[torriblezone]

FRANKINCENSE and myrrh were utilized at the suspicously ritualistic SENDOFF.

[Mawmaw]

FRANKINCENSE is a SERIOUSLY strong smelling substance!

[Nafets]

A LYCANTHROPE is a SERIOUSLY dangerous beast.

[Mawmaw]

Seeing the LYCANTHROPE in the woods was the most PECULIAR and harrowing experience I have ever had!

[torriblezone]

It was a PECULIAR type of ARROW that we found lodged in the wall above our heads, though we didn't notice until much later.

[Mawmaw]

After seeing the ARROW we jumped in our ROWBOAT and left as fast as we could in case there were more where that one came from.

[torriblezone]

We had already packed into the ROWBOAT, the OATIER granola that was roundly disliked.

[HoumaGirl]

They hated the OATIER granola so much that they wished that it would be ERADICATED from the earth!

[chiman]

if granola was ERADICATED it would save a lot of TEDIOUS chewing

[torriblezone]

Do not think it TEDIOUS of me, but I have a firm conviction that all foods should be mechanically SOFTENED to allow easy swallowing and no chewing.

[Joesgirl]

SOFTENED granola would be much more EDIBLE!

[HoumaGirl]

If you eat something that is not EDIBLE the situation may become BLEAK.

[Nafets]

And indeed the situation became quite BLEAK when they discovered the rowboat was the LEAKIEST any of them had ever been in.

[torriblezone]

The LEAKIEST little rowboat sank, and STAYED right where it was, granola, peculiar arrows, toothless owners and all.

[AdamsMuse]

We STAYED the night on the shore in an EDIFICE under the cliff.

[Biloxidebbie]

From the EDIFICE we could see and hear the ICEHOUSE on the other side of the lake.

[chiman]

The ICEHOUSE was too cold for the OUSEL to nest in.

[Crovax]

Thus, to the OUSEL, that icehouse was quite USELESS.

[chiman]

The teacher was USELESS at teaching the LESSONS on ornithology.

[AdamsMuse]

We learned a LESSON about leaky rowboats when we had to spend the night ONSHORE after it sank to the bottom of the lake.

[chiman]

More lessons were learnt after spending the night ONSHORE, because the plants we slept among were some strong smelling HOREHOUNDS

[torriblezone]

The pockets of the baron's HOUNDSTOOTH jacket bulged unbecomingly with plucked HOREHOUND.

[Crovax]

Strutting in his HOUNDSTOOTH jacket, the baron flashed a TOOTHY grin.

[chiman]

The TOOTHY grin did not hide the fact that he had a THYROID problem.

[Biloxidebbie]

THYROID problems may cause a person to develop IDIOSYNCRASIES.

[AdamsMuse]

One of her many IDIOSYNCRASIES is a mandatory SIESTA each day after lunch.

[chiman]

Having a SIESTA has become an ESTABLISHED habit.

[Biloxidebbie]

It seems to be an ESTABLISHED fact that a siesta in the afternoon is rather HEDONISTIC.

[HoumaGirl]

A HEDONISTIC person is probably not a STICKLER for detail.

[chiman]

A person who is a STICKLER for detail will not like any ERRORS occuring.

[AdamsMuse]

There is likely to be some margin for ERRORS in judgement when interpreting the RORSHACH test during which inkblots are examined by a psychologist.

[torriblezone]

Despite her ACHES and pains, torriblezone's psychiatrist insisted on ceaseless RORSHACH tests-and the healthy torriblezone smirked like mad.

[chiman]

My brain ACHES when trying to think too far ahead when playing CHESS.

[Joesgirl]

When playing CHESS, it is ESSENTIAL that you know the rules of the game.

[HoumaGirl]

It is ESSENTIAL that opponents in a chess game have an
ALTERNATE move in mind.

[bendo]

We ALTERNATE between the TELEVISION and our video game.

[torriblezone]

TELEVISION is a fascinating thing to turn ON and an even better thing to turn off.

[HoumaGirl]

While I was ON my way to watch television I decided to go ONLINE to play Boggle!

[bendo]

I will go ONLINE to play a NEW game.

[Joesgirl]

We have a NEW NEWSPAPERMAN because the old one hated to get up early.

[torriblezone]

The old NEWSPAPERMAN hobbled away to see the MANATEE his nephew was worrying.

[chiman]

The newspaperman hobbled to see the MANATEE that his TEENAGER nephew was worrying.

[Joesgirl]

The TEENAGER was not inclined to sit with his GERIATRIC neighbor until he heard some of her fantastic stories while eating chocolate chip cookies.

[chiman]

The GERIATRIC was up to some TRICKERY when telling her war stories of derring-do.

[HoumaGirl]

Some of her TRICKERY involved making sandwiches out of RYE bread, which the teenager hated with a passion.

[Biloxidebbie]

The RYE bread wasn't as YEASTY as the heavy white bread he had eaten the day before.

[Mawmaw]

YEASTY bread is sometimes served by TYRANNICAL geriatric storytellers.

[Joesgirl]

Even is she wasn't TYRANNICAL she could have caused a CALAMITY if the boy was allergic to yeast!

[AdamsMuse]

In the event of a CALAMITY one would TYPICALLY call 911!

[debbiedoo]

TYPICALLY the 911 operators do not want you call for minor conditions such as swollen LYMPH nodes.

[chiman]

Do swollen LYMPH glands cause PHOTOSENSATIVITY problems?

[Biloxidebbie]

PHOTOSENSATIVITY is just one TYPE of numerous conditions that forced the vampire to stay out of the direct sunlight.

[mandc]

Photosensativity is a TYPE of condition that is PERILOUS to the life of a vampire.

[Joesgirl]

The PERILOUS nature of the conditions surrounding the vampire probably cause him to have the LOUSIEST life ever!

[mandc]

The vampires' LOUSIEST day caused him to take a SIESTA

[Biloxidebbie]

After the SIESTA the vampire decided to hunt for a TASTY morsel since it was finally dark outside.

[AdamsMuse]

The TASTY morsel made a valiant effort to escape the vampire's clutches but she soon realized that a STYPTIC pencil would not help her recover!

[chiman]

The STYPTIC pencil TICKLED when she touched it to her sensative skin.

[Mawmaw]

The accountant was TICKLED pink when her LEDGER balanced perfectly.

[torriblezone]

The poor GERBIL dived for cover when the fiddle held a note six LEDGER lines above the treble staff.

[debbiedoo]

The GERBIL would have paid a BILLION dollars, if he had it, to make the sound stop!

[chiman]

A BILLION dollars would suit the LIONESS down to the ground, and would send those lazy lions to do all the hunting instead.

[Joesgirl]

The LIONESS finds the lazy lions ESSENTIAL for feeding her young.

[Mawmaw]

It is ESSENTIAL that people keep their distance from the ALLIGATOR if it comes out of the swamp to go hunting!

[mandc]

The ALLIGATOR lies in the water TORPIDLY, waiting for the Wilderbeast migration to pass through.

[Joesgirl]

The alligator was TORPIDLY lying in the shade beneath LYCOPOD plant until the hoofbeats receded.

[mandc]

The LYCOPOD at the PODIATRISTS was drooping miserably because of lack of love.

[Joesgirl]

The PODIATRISTS offices, lycopod and all, were wiped out by the TSUNAMI!

[chiman]

The TSUNAMI did a great deal of damage, but the MILLIPEDES were safe.

[Mawmaw]

The MILLIPEDES were a scary sight to all the PEDESTRIANS trying to find shelter.

[torriblezone]

The jaywalking PEDESTRIANS had to ANSWER to the unspotted police officer-yes, he had no spots.

[mandc]

The ANSWER to the unspotted police officer was for him to SWERVE away from the pedestrians before he knocked them down.

[Mawmaw]

Having to SWERVE so suddenly caused the VELOCIPEDE he was riding to tilt over, dumping him into the street amongst the millipedes and panicky pedestrians.

[chiman]

The VELOCIPEDE rider had so upset the millipedes and pedestrians that they ran riot and accidently DECAPITATED a passing ostrich.

[debbiedoo]

Removing the DECAPITATED ostrich from beneath the velocipede, millipedes, and panicky pedestrians became a TEDIOUS and messy task.

[chiman]

Removing the decapitated remains of the ostrich might be a messy and TEDIOUS task but it is USUAL for the emergency services.

[Joesgirl]

Using the USUAL tactics, the emergency team got rid of the horrific mess ALTOGETHER.

[debbiedoo]

It was ALTOGETHER impossible to see where the mess had been after it was removed and buried near the prehistoric remains of the THEROPOD.

[chiman]

The THEROPOD was known for its foot problems and often had to see a PODIATRIST, especially for their ingrowing toe nails.

[ipodcluster]

The PODIATRIST is located on our STREET.

[chiman]

There was a podiatrist in our STREET, but I did not like his ETHICS so went elsewhere!

[Biloxidebbie]

Due to his lack of ETHICS he was called a SCOUNDREL by his neighbors and business associates.

[chiman]

And a SCOUNDREL is not RELIABLE.

[Joesgirl]

People who once thought the podiatrist was RELIABLE realized that he was not a LEGITIMATE doctor after all.

[AdamsMuse]

A LEGITIMATE doctor would have probably been more altruistic than MATERIALISTIC.

[Nafets]

The MATERIALISTIC doctor was a STICKLER for prepayment in full.

[debbiedoo]

Even though the doctor was a STICKLER for advance payment, his books were found to be ERRONEOUS due to embezzlement.

[Nafets]

Once the ERRONEOUS bookkeeping was discovered, the doctor was OUSTED from his medical profession for embezzlement.

[HoumaGirl]

After he was OUSTED from the medical profession, he began the TEDIOUS chore of rebuilding his reputation.

[mandc]

During the TEDIOUS chore of rebuilding his reputation he USUALLY worked 24/7, which his wife found difficult to cope with.

[HoumaGirl]

A bird singing is USUALLY LYRICAL but the one that woke me up this morning was quite irritating!

[Crovax]

The less-than LYRICAL bird had a CALLOUS disregard for HoumaGirl's fatigue.

[Biloxidebbie]

The bird's CALLOUS disregard for HoumaGirl's fatigue caused her to lose so much sleep that she had the LOUSIEST day ever.

[Nafets]

She felt the LOUSIEST she ever had because of the ESTRANGEMENT from all her friends and family.
