Another word game we played in the car with our kids on trips was Tribond.

What do these three words have in common?

Barrel, Ferris, Fly
Code: 
[white]Wheel: wheel barrel, ferris wheel, fly wheel[/white]

Bartlet, Skin, Dolly
Code: 
[white]pear, pare and pair[/white]

[white]It occurred to me to ask, what's a "wheel barrel?" So I searched. Google has 5,230 references to it, and 1,810 to "wheelbarrel." But, there are 35,300 to "wheel barrow" and 238,000 to "wheelbarrow." I can't find wheelbarrel in any dictionaries.

I think this means that "wheelbarrel" is a sort of mondegreen and the correct word is "wheelbarrow."[/white]
