My Purple Ones



I understand that there is a Forum game that has this idea but for Pokemon species names.

Why not English words? I have noticed some people saying "Sorry for my bad English" in their posts so perhaps this could be a -gasp- educational game.

If you cannot think of a word, the previous poster wins and you should gracefully congratulate them.

I was introduced to this game from a forum on Fanfiction.net and it was thought of in 2007.

I'd like to see this thread get used and find out how good everyone's vocabulary is. :]

Rules

1. Use English words only (I suppose British English is acceptable ;])

2. Also post the definition of the word you use as you remember it. If you want, write a sentence illustrating the definition.

3. No using the -ing suffix. It is a cheap way to win.

4. Please do not use a dictionary to come up with words, use your brain instead.

5. If someone has won, please don't start the next chain with a winning word, then it is unfair for the next player.


The first word is:

Cooperative

(Being willing to work with another person or being, can be used to describe a living being or an inanimate object)

The printer was being cooperative with the secretary and did not require any percussive maintenance to fulfill its purpose.
