Right because being listed on Butterflies and Wheels sanctions its free dismissal as mere jargon. Aristotle fits nicely into that category doesn't he?
To be fair I think many of the entries are rather entertaining such as "Logic: Pestiferous male invention. Probably something to do with imperialism, too." Perhaps the book version is more comprehensive and actually includes jargon instead of just mildly funny definitions of common words. -----Original Message----- From: Derek Allan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 4:03 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: The Fate of The Image Saul Have a look at the website Butterflies and Wheels which keeps a list of the latest pretentious jargon, with amusing definitions. I'll be surprised if they are not there. If not they should be. (PS: Did I unwittingly choose words you like to use?)
