The definitive Definitive thread.
« on: March 01, 2010, 02:49:58 PM »

Have seen "definitive" thrown around a little too much here lately. I've had little flashes of the overuse "inconceivable" by Vizinni, and cannot help but think "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

de·fin·i·tive  (d-fn-tv)

adj.
1. Precisely defined or explicit.
2. Supplying or being a final settlement or decision; conclusive.
3. Authoritative and complete: a definitive biography.
4. Biology Fully formed or developed, as an organ or structure.

n. Grammar
A word that defines or limits, such as the definite article or a demonstrative pronoun.

de·fini·tive·ly adv.
de·fini·tive·ness n.

This is not the first Definitive definitive thread.

Therefore, none of them can truly be definitive.

With the inclusion of the definitive thread index this definitive thread is now the definitive definitive thread thread.

Shouldn't we define -thread- just to be definitively thorough?

Ha when I made the Definitive Agorism thread I honestly had no idea that it was trendy. I just thought it would be good to have a thread wherein Agorism gets defined. Definitively.

Pretty sure the close to 250 pages of "Excellent Breasts" would qualify.

It's so definitive it doesn't even need to claim definitivity.
