- wrboyce 7y agoI'm going to hazard a guess that @ggambetta is making a veiled reference to "RAS Syndrome". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAS_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAS_syndrome
- ggambetta 7y agoYep :) Didn't know it was called that.
- benj111 7y agoOff topic, but is there a name for names that are diagnostic or demonstrative of the thing. Eg you can't say 'lisp' with a lisp, have trouble spelling dyslexia with dyslexia. 'hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia' is the fear of long words, TLA (three letter acronym) and the above obviously.

- benj111 7y agoPerhaps? The examples given seem much more limited to the qualities of the word itself, I'm not sure the lisp example would fit under that banner. That page does link to 'Ostensive definition' though: "An ostensive definition conveys the meaning of a term by pointing out examples" So perhaps 'Auto-ostensive'? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostensive_definition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostensive_definition
- ggambetta 7y agoIt's refreshing to see the correct capitalisation and no redundant words in your sentence :)
