Possible uses of a list like this…

— Which terms appeal to sense of humor?

— Which terms communicate a more serious approach?

— Which terms suggest a goal or objective you hadn’t previously considered?

— Find all the terms that relate to ‘customer problems’.

— Find words from which you can use to create your own new words or phrases.

— Find word(s) that speak to pop culture.
