Pretty easy rules!
Take turns posting words that can be used in place of the word "said."
Examples: agreed, begged, challenged, demanded, exclaimed, fibbed, gulped, harangued, implied, joked, lamented, mimicked, nitpicked, observed, placated, quieted, reassured, stalled, teased, urged, volunteered, xeroxed (a bit of a stretch, but hey), yodeled, zinged.
