maybe its good that you did that since you were the first to respond and people might see your post under my original question post.

Anyway, I'll do mine:

1. crunch -munch
2. mustache -hair
3. egg -head
4. Foreign-aid
5. particular-specific
6. monster-saddam
7. shady-ville
8. insane-asylum
9. victory-machine
10. powder keg-explosion
11. beggar-street
12. slim-none
13. none-many
14. crime-spree
15. vacation-life
16. zip-code
17. potatoe-farmer
18. sky-blue
19. deal-big
20. homeless-person

I think that free association really shows us how we think and in what kind of patterns our thoughts go in.

Free association doesn't work when you read the words from a list and have to type in the answers, so this exercise is essentially useless and doesn't tell you anything.

don't hurt your head over it. Anyway, I do think its interesting that some people will respond with antonyms, synonyms, some people will be creative, some people will complete the phrase, some people will come up with a word that rhymes, etc.
