Friday 5 -- On Words

Posted by Alex at 8:51 AM

This one is patterned off an old Friday 5 written by Songbird, our Friday Five Creator Emerita: Below you will find five words. Tell us the first thing you think of on reading each one. Your response might be simply another word, or it might be a sentence, a poem or a story.

1. vineyard -- the great little gift shop next to a wonderful coffee house -- I've purchased jewelry at the Vineyard as gifts for friends

2. root -- my husband, as he pronounces this word the Arkie way -- 'rut'

3. rescue -- a song from my one of my son's TV obsessions, Go Diego Go (Diego is the cousin of Dora the Explorer), "Rescue pack, comin' to the rescue"...
4. perseverance -- what I am attempting this week, as I get back into my exercise routine after a lazy summer

5. divided -- my opinion on many topics these days

    Apparently we were posting our play at the same time - If you see my post on RevGals, I promise I wasn't copying you :). I was reading through all the posts, read yours and then mine right afterwards and it looks as if I just copied you verbatim. Great minds think alike, huh?

    My number three is the same. The voices of D and D are often heard in our house (and car, and outside, and EVERYWHERE!)
    :) Great play

    #2 made me laugh...My husband (born & raised outside the U.S.) swears that marry, Mary, and merry are three different sounding words. They all sound the same to me. But then I grew up near Houston (pronounced House-ton) Delaware just off of Route (rhymes with boot & my version of root) 14...

    Your #5 is how I "should" have answered.

    Where I was raised in PA, Mary Marry and Merry are also pronounced (slightly) differently from each other, but Root and Route are pronounced the same way. Guess it's a regional thing.

    Root rhymes with put.
    Route rhymes with gout.
    Besomami rhymes with smartypants.
