Building on drjay's excellent "Four Letter Word" thread, I'd like to try a similar thread using five letter words. I'm not sure if we will run into any roadblocks, but let's see how far we can travel with this until we get stumped. It's bound to be more challenging (if not impossible) at some point but it's worth a try. I would suspect that this thread will move more slowly than its four letter word sibling, but never underestimate the creative nature of acura owners!
Taking a page from drjay's book, here's how it works:
Start with the word from the previous poster. Delete one letter, add one letter, and scramble the letters to make a new word.
Example: cabin >> delete "n" >> add "s" >> scramble >> basic
Just a few simple rules: No abbreviations, prefixes, suffixes, or words that require hyphens or apostrophes. No proper nouns unless we're really stuck (which is more likely with 5 letters rather than with 4). You can challenge any word that can't be found in a standard English-language dictionary.
Here's the first word: acura
:D
