Vort Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 Give a word, phrase, or sentence that is self-referential or self-descriptive. If needed, and maybe even if not needed, provide a short paragraph following the word/phrase/sentence to explain how the word/phrase/sentence fulfills the rule. I'll start: Autodescriptive This means something that describes itself. For example, if trying to define the word "autodescriptive", you could use this word as an example. Quote
Vort Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Posted January 12, 2015 Bipart This means something that has two parts, such as the two syllables that make up the word "bipart". Quote
Crypto Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Duplicate?A duplicate of duplicate would fulfill this role? A duplicate would create a copy, both of which can describe the other. [i'm guessing we will be using a loose interpretation of the rules?] Edited January 12, 2015 by Crypto Quote

Vort Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Posted January 13, 2015 This seems a bit of a cheat too, to be fair. Let me try one... Hatless. Dogless. Flavorless. I mean, you can stick 'less' on nigh anything and it fits. I agree. I decided that after I posted it. The saving grace, if there is one, is that "text" and "image" seem somehow related in an internet context, so "imageless" is more contextually relevant than "whaleless". But if you can think up a better "I" term, by all means do so. Quote
