Okay, so this is how this goes.....

I'm gonna post a long word, then each successive poster will post a word DERIVED from that word, like so:

1st Person: Constitution
2nd Person: Stint

We keep "pulling" from the SAME word (ONE word, EACH post), until we can no longer think of something (or, get SICK of the original word! LOL), and then we post a NEW lonnnng word, for others to pull-from.

Also, try not to duplicate the shorter words----at least, until we're given a NEW, long word----and then, try not to keep repeating the long words, either.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here we go.....

or even a bonus paint.....

So many 'near misses' with this word, eg tomato, potato, monotone: too many vowels and not enough consonants!

Still.....MOAT
