The word "run" is anticipated to have approximately 645 different meanings in the next Oxford English Dictionary, set for a 2037 release.

I challenge someone to make a sentence or paragraph with all these.

I TAKE my STAND. “GET SET, GO” My TURN to RUN. I PUT a lot of effort in but FALL and STRIKE my knee.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
