Unintended meaning, russel's paradox, irony I dunno. Doesn't seem so exciting that there should be a special word for it.

Ignore the plebs ITT. It's called a thinanchasonoism (from the greek thin: "verily, truly", anankazo:"to cause, to compel", and -noia, "thought").

the same can be said for any synonym of 'hide' u fat fuck

What the fuck are you trying to say?

>>mfw the word 'obfuscate' obfuscates the word hide
It does/is what it describes, like 'brobdingnagian' or 'multisyllabic'. They have a self-referential aspect. The technical term is autology; such words are autological.

>>mfw the word 'hide' hides the word obfuscate
No, in this direction not really, since 'hide' doesn't provide the barrier to understanding that 'obfuscate' does. They're merely (imperfect) synonyms here.
>>
>>8432066
>'obfuscate' obfuscates 'hide'
>'hide' hides 'obfuscate
I don't see how this is true. You're using one instead of the other, not concealing one with the other...
>>
good thread
>>
>>8432066
No, you're retarded. You don't understand vocabulary. Hide doesn't equal obfuscate, obfuscate is a word with a more complex meaning that enriches a sentence that contains it, just as enriches is better than "adds to", and so on, ad infinitum, you cunt.
>>
>>8432066
do want

an autologic word is a word that describes itself, the opposite is heterologic

now here is a fun question for you: is "heterologic" a heterological word?

If you don't want to fuck her you're confirmed /lit/ material. Break out the Dom you faggots are winning medals.

>the word "word"
what do you call this phenomena?
>>
>>8432745

I would say, no? Because the word does not describe the opposite of its meaning (a word that describes the opposite of its meaning).
>>

>>8432880

Honestly, same here. Sometimes when I see beautiful women, I am attracted to them, but also get a heavy sense of envy and even depression. It's like they are so special and beautiful, they are on a higher plane of existence than I am. They seem like mythical creatures sometimes, and I'm just me...
>>
>>8432717
one word can't just be better than another one. there are times when obfuscate might be more appropriate or "better," but there are probably many more circumstances where hide is more appropriate. Also, I don't think obfuscate has a more complex meaning than hide. Pretty much all words have surprising meanings when you look into them.
>>
>>8432066
are you a girl OP? because that's some incredibly shallow made up pseud shit.

you'd fit in the academia.
>>
>>8432066
wow
>>
>>8433558

classic mistake of putting the pussy on a pedestal. guess what? they shit just like you. they are susceptible to shitty human behaviors and flaws just like you. some of the pretty ones are even socially awkward and have low self esteem, just like you. kill your darlings you fucking faggot.
>>
>>8433550
THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE
>>
>>8433596
You sound like a bit of a nutter mate
>>
>>8433694

Maybe. All I'm saying is that attractive girls are humans too and that you shouldn't treat them like goddesses if you want to have a shot at getting in their pants.
>>
>>8433718
Past a shot at getting in their pants, if you want valuable friendships or relationships, it helps if they other person isn't seen as an unreachable end-goal. That makes social dynamics unbalanced and is a strong factor for sexual violence.
>>
>>8433596
all he was saying was some girls are crazy hot/pretty, and it's true
>>
>>8433739

That's not all he was saying. You don't ascribe phrases like, "higher plane of existence" and, "mythical creatures" to women and expect to come off sounding like you believe you are in an equitable position when dealing with them.
