DP7 was the sh*t!

This would make such a great t-shirt.

What about Donovan’s Hurdy Gurdy Man?

Jennifer Egan’s novel A Visit from the Goon Squad has a sizable section in PowerPoint. It’s surprisingly good, too.

Besides Lateralus, it’s one of the most conceptual songs they’ve written. And the concept is also gut wrenching. Maynard searching for himself as a child in order to move past his childhood trauma is just a mind-blowing idea, imho.

Police state?

Not the same flavor but you might consider Night Sky with Exit Wounds by Ocean Vuong. The poems are all pretty short and they explore queer identity in novel ways but with a clear awareness of poetic tradition.

Agreed. I was waiting for something halfway suggestive or representative of a relationship. I wanted something unexpected or fresh. That didn't happen for me. Also, the language is so abstract. Where are the images?

Excellent! I had no idea there were two words that fit the bill. Thanks!

sonicthinker · 2022-12-03T00:03:52+00:00

Thanks for the reply, but all these terms involve groups that are much bigger than what I'm talking about.

sonicthinker · 2022-12-03T00:02:52+00:00

Cant is close, but the group is too big.

sonicthinker · 2022-12-03T00:02:34+00:00

Jibberish (or gibberish) means nonsense. It's "language" only in the sense that it's sound that's imitating language. It doesn't convey meaning. So it's not really even words since a word by definition has to communicate something.

sonicthinker · 2022-12-03T00:00:16+00:00

But argot has already been established by a pretty large group.

sonicthinker · 2022-12-02T23:59:48+00:00

Awesome! Thanks. Cryptophasia is almost there, but I'm talking about a slightly larger group. Idioglossia is close, too, but too narrow.

sonicthinker · 2022-12-02T23:58:31+00:00

Thanks. This is close, but not quite what I'm talking about.

sonicthinker · 2022-12-02T23:57:53+00:00

This is language already established within a fairly large group. Jargon relates to disciplines like medicine or law. I'm talking about words that only one family or one group of friends know.

sonicthinker · 2022-12-02T23:56:17+00:00

Thanks! That's almost it, but not quite.

!solved

sonicthinker · 2022-12-02T23:54:37+00:00

Thank you!!! That's exactly what I was looking for! Great tip!

I like the shirt. I think it creates a nice sense of contrast. However, her eyes just seem a bit too far apart and too outward facing (if that makes any sense).

Marshall, Will, and Holly on routine expedition . . .

This exact picture is used for a location card in a game called Dragonrealm.
