A little game…?

[presumenothing]

It's already TGIF where I am, so 我们来玩玩游戏吧！

Since languages are all about connections, and everyone sees different patterns in the chaos:

Post a bit of vocab below, and I (plus anyone else who wants to play!) will reply with other bits of vocab that feel related to it!

Any shape or size of vocab goes – whether a single character or an idiom, your favourite word or one you just learned.

If you're responding, feel free to add why these words seem related to you! "They're the same shape/sound", or "it's a valid answer to 接龙ing the above", or "it came up together in one line of this show"… anything goes! 放飞创意吧！

坐井观天 I like the imagery of this!
坐 -> 座
对号入座 it sounds like take your seat according to your number / put things in their correct place - but also means to take a general comment as a personal attack, assume you are being criticized? I don't know what the story is behind that and I haven't found any explanation (that I understood) when I searched for it, so it sticks in my mind.

对号入座 is sort of "if the shoe fits", isn't it?

I hadn't heard the second ("personal attack") meaning of 对号入座. Useful to know!

I learned the other meaning (for numbered seating) from a song, so following up with a word from the next line of the lyrics: 入魔.
