What, the Malibu Barby whose head he screwed off and replaced with a miniature street sign?

mine must be a limited edition, it doesn't have a streetsign head. in fact it resembles a regular barbie.

 

[goldendawn]

I made a street sign for art in year 11. Mine read

No
Right Wing
Turn

​

 

[fuckfoot]

that could be misconstrued you know.

like: No! right wing! turn!

or: no right wing. turn.

just pointing out how (fragmented) sentences come alive with punctuation.

 

[goldendawn]

Indeed, the context (the forbidden word) of the words changes the meaning of the sentence. But the examples you made are very poor, and show little change of meaning.

 

[jhakka]

I thought "Journeys" was the forbidden word.

 

[fuckfoot]

no, it depends on what sort of tone your using. you need a sort of i'm-in-a-panic-and-i'm-about-to-collide-with-a-truck voice for the first one, and you need a deadpan-i'm-a-bloody-boring-monotone-teacher voice for the second. you just don't have the imagination. (is that another forbidden word? is there a list of these somewhere?)

 

[glitterfairy]

We ARE getting deep, now aren't we?

Time to rattle off list of fancy essay words.

Cultural Hybridity
Palimpsest
Homogenising
Equilirium
Inner Narrative

 

[jhakka]

I suggest we compile a list of forbidden words:

Journey
Context
Transformation
Technique
Theme
Intention
Responder
Composer

 

[goldendawn]

There are many forbidden words. My use of the definite article is hyperbolic; and expresses the responders lexicographical horror at the Board of Studies poisoning of perfectly decent words.

The Agressive Purple Lion Ate My Silly Sister

T - Theme
A - Audience
P - Purpose
L - Language
A - Alliteration/Assonance
M - Metaphor
S - Symbolism
S - Style

At least i hope that's how TAPLAMSS works. Mph. Yr 9 stuff.

What else is there...

Paradigm!

 

[goldendawn]

You want fanct words? That nothing!


Try this...

Truculent
Metastatic
Vituperative
Pejorate
Reticulate
Ethnogenesis
Deracinate
Indenization

...

To name but a few in my extensive vocabulary which teacher have battered me into not using because they don't know what the hell I am saying most of the time...

wow, you guys were spoon-fed! i never got some fancy acronym-ish thing...

metanarrative.

i'm sick of elaborate words for simple things.

 

[glitterfairy]

Ah, the meta-list...

metafiction
metatheatre

... that's all I can think of for now. My vocabularly is actually pitifully small... *hangs head in shame*

Wait! Wait!

Syncretic
Cosmologies

where on earth did you learn these...

You should have been a girl. My english teacher would have loved you.

 

[jhakka]

To be honest, I don't know what any of those words mean.

 

[goldendawn]

haha -

The Board of Studies loves its purply post-modern composite words....

like:

"meta-language"
"meta-narrative"
"context"
"deconstruct" (don't use this term at uni. Its meant to be 'analyse'. Not too many ascribe to deconstructionism, hehe)

I don't think any of us except for goldie do.

for most of us, it's all a farce. A lie. The entire HSC is a lie.

Oh god it's the colour purple again. We're all doomed.

Context is such a big one though. You could apply it to just about everything.

 

[goldendawn]

I just picked them up from reading (Jung uses lots of big words, so do the Cambridge scholars...they also like archaisms - like "extoll"). Whenever I have come across a new word, I have looked it up in the dictionary....its called instant self-enlightenment.

 

[fuckfoot]

i know pejorative... but the rest may as well be german.
