The post in which Dictionary.com is my friend | October 17, 2011

100 words seems so short, but this week, 100 words is a lot.  Why?  Because I’ve just passed that count on my "I’m in Over My Head Vocabulary Primer"

Here’s what happens:   Prof uses a word that stops me and makes me go “hmmmm….I have no idea what you’re talking about…” but they keep going, or in some cases say “you all know what parapraxes & libidinal mean, I don’t need to explain right?” (this of course is rhetorical so we carry on).  

Some of my favorites from today:

…Id, phantasmagoria, post-positivist, phenomenological, noumena, existentialism, hermeneutics, instrumental rationality, reflexivity…

Sigh…
