playground/interplay


Ive been struggling with the word PLAYGROUND ever since it was given to me a couple of days ago, the definition of the word is a place with a specific design for children be able to play there. It may be indoors but is typically outdoors (where it may be called a tot lot in some regions). I know the word is a noun, meaning recreation area, and that its synonym is jungle gym...
I understand why this word was given to me but I think its an inapropriate word to use in this manner; I hereby choose to redefine it; what they really wanted to say and the word they wanted to use was; INTERPLAY, but the problem is that this word means INTERACTION, one of the other words that was also given to me, this makes the cycle complete, Ive been given two synonyms to work with... The word interplay is also a noun but the use is more accurate than playground, its synonyms are: coaction, exchange, give-and-take, mesh, meshing, networking, reciprocation, reciprocity, team play, teamwork, tit for tat, transaction...

  1. photo made by your DAVman.

    The town Chisinau has approximately 8000 children slides from soviet past. I saw most of them and photographed about 1600 of them.

    Could tell you more if interested in the how and why.

  5. You are on wrong track: do not assume the playground as an actual space for children to play for instance. (and get off MY playground!)
