http://www.wordnik.com/lists/plugging-in-the-fairy-dress.xml I had a prof in undergrad who referred to students' "fairy dress" words -- terms picked up in the first throes of learning theory that students wore out in inappropriate places, like a small child with a fairy princess dress that she wants to wear to school.<br /><br />Now, while I agree that there are terms that get used incorrectly, diluting their meaning, I don't think there's an inappropriate place to use them - poems? sure. Conversation? Absolutely. Likewise, I always wear my fairy dress for everyday.<br /><br />And the connection between these words? They are all about connection. http://www.wordnik.com http://www.wordnik.com/words/ubuntu Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:06:40 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/ubuntu http://www.wordnik.com/words/kinaesthesia Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:06:35 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/kinaesthesia http://www.wordnik.com/words/synaesthetic Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:06:27 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/synaesthetic http://www.wordnik.com/words/synaesthesia Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:06:22 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/synaesthesia http://www.wordnik.com/words/kinaesthetic Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:06:16 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/kinaesthetic http://www.wordnik.com/words/continuum Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:06:11 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/continuum http://www.wordnik.com/words/convergence Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:05:13 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/convergence http://www.wordnik.com/words/mutuality Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:05:01 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/mutuality http://www.wordnik.com/words/reciprocity Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:04:57 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/reciprocity http://www.wordnik.com/words/infolding Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:04:44 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/infolding http://www.wordnik.com/words/inclusive Fri, 20 Jul 2007 13:04:41 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/inclusive http://www.wordnik.com/words/snoogle Thu, 19 Jul 2007 05:37:17 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/snoogle http://www.wordnik.com/words/snuggle Thu, 19 Jul 2007 05:37:12 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/snuggle http://www.wordnik.com/words/gift Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:43:14 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/gift http://www.wordnik.com/words/'world'-travel Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:43:07 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/'world'-travel http://www.wordnik.com/words/balance Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:42:40 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/balance http://www.wordnik.com/words/intersection Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:42:32 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/intersection http://www.wordnik.com/words/imbrication Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:42:25 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/imbrication http://www.wordnik.com/words/metamorphic Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:42:17 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/metamorphic http://www.wordnik.com/words/transformative Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:42:13 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/transformative http://www.wordnik.com/words/conversational Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:52 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/conversational http://www.wordnik.com/words/implicit Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:41 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/implicit http://www.wordnik.com/words/alliance Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:19 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/alliance http://www.wordnik.com/words/ally Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:17 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/ally http://www.wordnik.com/words/affinity Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:15 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/affinity http://www.wordnik.com/words/community Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:11 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/community http://www.wordnik.com/words/spectrum Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:07 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/spectrum http://www.wordnik.com/words/juxtaposition Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:41:03 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/juxtaposition http://www.wordnik.com/words/oscillation Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:59 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/oscillation http://www.wordnik.com/words/collaborative Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:53 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/collaborative http://www.wordnik.com/words/collective Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:51 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/collective http://www.wordnik.com/words/connective Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:48 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/connective http://www.wordnik.com/words/relational Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:44 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/relational http://www.wordnik.com/words/reciprocal Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:41 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/reciprocal http://www.wordnik.com/words/yous Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:37 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/yous http://www.wordnik.com/words/thisconnectionofeveryonewithlungs Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:32 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/thisconnectionofeveryonewithlungs http://www.wordnik.com/words/all our relations Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:40:23 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/all our relations http://www.wordnik.com/words/zeugma Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:39:55 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/zeugma http://www.wordnik.com/words/chiasmatic Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:39:49 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/chiasmatic http://www.wordnik.com/words/chiasmus Thu, 19 Jul 2007 04:39:43 +0000 http://www.wordnik.com/words/chiasmus
