Eep! Just got home, later than I thought... anyways, here are the bluffs for PARAPRAXIS:
1. The connective tissue adjacent to the thalamus
2. Fortune telling, especially by cheiromancy
3. Locking of the mandible. Often a symptom of TMJ, Tetanus.
Commonly known as "Lockjaw"
4. A loss of range of motion in the torso
5. A medical procedure designed to temporarily stabilize a patient
6. Name given to the point where one axis crosses another
7. Personal one to one teaching
8. A pink slip
9. Pleural paralysis, such as is found in severe cases of asthma
10. Rephrasing of the Song of Solomon
11. A series of random curves forming a statistical pattern
12. A segment of lines that make equal acute angles
13. A shellfish adored by Manx Cats
14. Slips of the tongue or behavior, Freudian slips
15. Speech paralysis
16. Struggling to find a word
17. The theoretical center of a black hole
Happy guessing!
Torn between a pink slip and a Freudian slip... but the only one that really needs a word for it is 16. So, 16.
Great bluffs here! I'm gonna think about it a bit...
I agree with Mac, fanatastic selection. I like #9 a lot, it sounds so believable.
However I am going with #14
Need ... to ... think ...
mulling. once again, nothing looks familiar. <sigh>
14 and 16 are my favorites.
I vote for #14.
#14, please. The Freudian Slip one. As in, 'I meant to say to my wife, "Please pass the salt", but by accident said "YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE YOU MISERABLE *@$^#^(@ BITCH!"'
dang....
i'll take #10 please
hmmmm.... good definitions....
I'll pick #15
PaL
:-)
The consensus seems to be 14, so I'll pick 12.
i know i've seen one of those somewhere around here.
#11 and #12 make the most sense to me, but everyone seems to be going with #14.
Don't let me down guys!
I chose #14.
Individual: We could all be idiots. Or this could be a vast evil conspiracy to get you to pick 14. You're an individual: pick whichever answer seems most likely to you, whether that's 14, 11 or 12 (or MY bluff.....)
15 for me, please
Had to go and check my bluff - some great definitions here!
Everytime I read 3, I think I've seen it somewhere. Probably in another context, but I like it.
Soooooo, 3 it is, for me.
