Just a few co(s) between friends.

Co-wash – Yet another haircare product added to the multitudes already crowding that aisle. Because of course we need shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, leave in conditioner, and cowash hanging out in the shower.

Cooperate – I don’t think this one even qualifies because even though “operate” is its own word is “co” really a prefix prefix? Except yeah because co = together so operate together = cooperate. And since this is stream of consciousness I get to leave that mess right there for you to muddle through. Moving on.

Coexist – Am I the only one who loves those coexist bumper stickers? Well, no, I’m sure I’m not since folks actually stick them to their cars but I think they’re pretty cool.

Coordinate – The apps I can’t live without are the ones that help me coordinate calendars and schedules for our family. Now if I can just get the kids to add their stuff to the Cozi shopping list…

Copay – This sounds like a nice little amount, right? Like “gee, I’ve gotta go to the doctor, looks like I’ll have to pony up $25.” Except not always. Bummer.

Coaxial – I dunno. Sometimes the cable company tells me to disconnect the coaxial cable. That’s all I’ve got for this one.

Coworker – Wouldn’t it be great if “coworker” literally meant “one who works with you” in, y’know, the real world? I’m looking at you, Becky. Leaving that leftover tuna fish sandwich in the office fridge overnight was just wrong.


Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “co-” Find a word that uses “co” as a prefix and use it in your post. Have fun!
