Meeeeme. From The Shadow

The meme: post here and tell me if you want to be part of it. I'll give you five words I associate with you, and you write a little bit on each.

Here is where he did the words I gave him. The below are the words he gave me.

Tacky Hawaiian shirts I cannot imagine to what this refers. My shirts are not tacky. They are sublimely deconstructionist, ( Read more... )

I have completed the meme.

Either your shirts are tacky, or I'm a cantankerous old man with an outdated sense of fashion, and if you're sharp you won't answer that.

metody_green February 25 2009, 05:28:45 UTC

The answer to that is so obvious I will not take the trouble to voice it.

evillurks February 25 2009, 05:38:11 UTC

You are wise beyond your years.

Is now the right time to note that I'm 26, despite what I look like?

Is 'tacky Hawaiian shirts' really only one word in English?

Pat.

metody_green February 25 2009, 06:39:46 UTC

Nope!

aureliaofarista February 25 2009, 06:46:39 UTC

Ah. So you're cheaters, then.

metody_green February 25 2009, 06:50:20 UTC

No, we're taking a constructionist approach to language. A word is there to encapsulate an idea into an easily communicated unit. Going by that definition, 'tacky Hawaiian shirt' is a single word, as a Hawaiian shirt is a particular kind of shirt with it's own history and associated subculture, and a tacky Hawaiian shirt is a shirt that exists as a discrete unit within that larger framework.

Also. If we were German. It would be one word. They do awful things to nouns.

Oh, do tell me mine.

Bonus points if the word 'insane' is NOT used.

If I were you, I would have gone with 'Yellow'. But ha, you didn't!

Yellow

Bewhildering

Oh hoh hoh. This is what I think of that, good sir!

And now, I have some words of my own. AHEM.

giving
curious
frustrating
inflexible self-concept (if that Shadow fellow can use multiple words, so can I)
friend (This is Important)

metody_green February 26 2009, 06:43:36 UTC

I answered most of them.

I'm not sure what 'inflexible self-concept' is.
