Word games
Fun goings-on at Electric Venom, a Word Fugue whose idea is to start with a word ("jones" in this case) and add whatever word comes to mind, one at a time. Players can add words as often as they like but cannot repeat their words. "Fugue" is probably the perfect name.

And it brings to mind another word game I like where you start with a word and change just one letter at a time. In one version you have a limited number of moves to get from the word to a specified end word. Another version is open-ended. I can't check in here often today, but I'll start this and see what happens. Let's piggyback off EV and start with jones and see where it goes, one letter at a time.

I had to punch my way through Webster's New Collegiate to come up with "muley," if only to prevent this thing from dying prematurely.

It means "lacking in horns." Think polled Herefords.
