A friend of Rosaura's is doing a study on English and has a question for English natives. I'll give you a sentence and I want you to give me the first word that you can think of to end the sentence. Don't think about it, first thing that pops into your head, doesn't matter if it's right or wrong.

The sentence is in this NSFW image, so when you're ready, click to reveal the image and give it a go.

Please PM me your answers, don't put them here or you'll spoil it for others.

she has enough already really, I'll leave it open for a bit longer though.

It's for this person's PHD, she's currently the head of a state language school here in España. As to the actual purpose of it .... I'm curious about that myself, will see what she says.

I'd be willing to bet we all (minus the odd smart ass) put the same thing.

Based on your answer I'd be willing to bet you and I put the same thing but I know not everyone did.

High five BigE we got it right! Everyone else was wrong, even the other people who said second because they didn't announce that its the only sensible answer! We're winners!!

I'm actually knocking a point off your score Ari for not coming up with a 3rd suggestion.
