lifeinbinary: i just learned the meaning of the word dialogism. i must use it in a sentence.
me: why do i have a feeling that it’s a made-up word that has been accepted
by the mainstream of society because it’s “new” and “cutting edge”?
lifeinbinary: apparently its a concept invented by Russian theorist Mikhail Bakhtin.
not sure when he was around or any other helpful detail.
the things one learns while hitting on english majors.
me: what is the exact definition? i’ll bet you a burrito it’s basically the
word DIALOGUE. As in “these bouts of dialogue are not helping.”
lifeinbinary: it means an imaginary dialogue with two or more people.
me: yeah? well “dialogue-izzle” could also be used in that case.
[no emails for a few minutes]
me: HAHAHAHHAhahahahahaa please tell me you guys are laughing at
dialogue-izzle?!!?!??? I’m cracking myself up here, repeating it. It’s
wrong in so many ways. EVEN SLANG!
lifeinbinary: HAHAHHAHA! gosh we’re all such dorks.
the crush comment was meant for you showing you another example of the
using this newly acquired word.
me: HAHAHAHHAHAhaahhaahHHAHAHAHAHHAHAhahahahaHHAHAHAHAHaa
I’ve been going to all the guys in the office because i’m hearing
someone call my name. I’m running from office to office until all the
guys tell me that they haven’t been calling out my name. So i start
muttering to myself that “great, i have a new voice to add to the ones
already in my head.”
Then, my Production Manager is walking by as I am giggling about
“dialogue-izzle.” I hear my PM tell the Big G, “Great, now that new
voice is telling her jokes.”
