Word association football
Origin
A word game in which the first player starts with a word and subsequent players have to follow with a related word and so on. The pastime has been around for some years and is staple fare for families on long car journeys and the like. The Monty Python team coined the name for an inspired comic sketch. Word association is a psychological technique invented by Jung where patients are asked for an immediate response to any word fired at them. Association football is the proper name of soccer (and the origin of the word incidentally), although anyone outside the USA will tell you that the proper name of soccer is football.

| Common Terms in Evolutionary Biology and Genetics |
Association
(genetic): Association refers to a concurrence greater than predicted by chance between a specific allele and another trait (for example, a disease) that may or may not have a genetical basis. Evaluation of association requires the study of unrelated individuals. Association studies may prove useful in identifying a genetic factor in a disease. Except when linkage disequilibrium exists, association is not due to genetic linkage and should not be confused with it.

Association
In psychology, the cognitive connection between two or more concepts or ideas such that the presence of one tends to evoke the others. In Sociology, the process by which people become allied to one another and form groups as the result of such alliances. In statistics, the cooccurrence of two or more events with a probability above what would be expected by chance. Dissociation is the logical complement of the statistical concept of association.
