jabberwacky: banana splits

I'll be traveling for the next 30 hours straight; I know you're jealous. In the meantime, why don't you guys keep yourselves occupied with a little wordplay.

Rules:

  • Post the first word or phrase that comes to mind when you read the word above yours in the comments.
  • Come back and add to the mix as often as you'd like.
  • You can challenge the preceding commenter to explain if you don't understand the connection they made when they wrote their word. (If you know your word choice won't make sense to others, take time to explain it.)
  • The last word when I close comments will be the first word next time.

Last time we started with Africa and ended with banana splits. Let's see what happens this round!
