What is the first word/image that comes to mind when I say the word "prom"?

[Amelia X]

I think of death. Scenes from the movies "Prom Night" and "Carrie" pop into my head, lol.

[know it all]

Peggy Sue got married. Unprotected idiots

 

[HappyChip]

I would think of the sea. "Prom" as the shortening for "promenade".

I'd also think of the Last Night of the Proms (i.e. promenade concerts).

 

[Jojon]

I think about losing virginity.
