Monkey see monkey do

November 2nd, 2007

I use some words that I don’t actually know the meaning of. Or I vaguely know what they’re about but I couldn’t really explain it to you. Like…

SHEMP

or

PARADIGM

The first one seems to be something to do with a bad stand-in, in a movie, or something. If I call a bad actor a “shemp” it sometimes goes down well. Whereas you can say that someone whose opinions have changed has had a “paradigm shift”. I don’t know what the word means but I can use it.

By these means, and also with smoke and mirrors, I make myself look clever.

    I use paradigm sometimes but very rarely and I wasn’t too clear about what it meant. But that’s just me. I want to look clever and therefore I will make myself feel stupid to do so.

    WRONG!

    Why hasn’t anyone else followed up on this? Is it really that dire a post? I thought it was spiffing although seeing as Marshall hasn’t even replied even he’s given up on it.

    I suppose I should let it go.
