Expand This Word

[Muck308 55]

The idea behind this game is to post a word that can be made into another word by adding letters in the middle.

Example:

I post a word like final

This can be turned into financial, where the new letters are anci.

All the original letters must remain and in the same order as well. I should also note, that the first and last letters should remain the same, hence the object of adding letters in the middle. You may add the new letters wherever you like, so long as the original word's letters remain in the same order. New letters may also be intermittent... for example...

I post a word like beer

This can be turned into bleeder, where the new letters are lde. This could also be accomplished by doing bleeder, where the new letters are led.

Now I will start it off with a word. The next poster will add letters to it to create a new word. Then they will post a second word for the next poster to add to. Do your best to pick a word you think can be altered according to the rules, which shouldn't be too difficult. Should we hit a dead end, just pick a new one.

Edit: (8-9-10) Hyphenated words may now be used if a single word cannot be found, but please do your best to find a single word if one exists.

Now to start this off...

Fun

[Muck308 55]

I don't think you've quite got it, Larks. The idea is to add letters in the middle. Korot's word was toast, so your word must at least begin with T and end with T, keeping the O, A, and S in there somewhere as well, and in that order.
