Synesthesia II
So Hosea asks me: "I wonder if my father took that word 'synesthesia out of the dictionary." What makes you think it's in the dictionary? "Well, where else woud he get it from?" He probably just made it up. People make up words all the time. Hosea shook his head. "No, I don't think my father would do that." Man, if that word (synesthesia) is in the dictionary, I'll eat my hat.On that note, of course we had to look it up. Webster's collegiate:
synesthesia: n. 1) A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color. 2) A sensation felt in one part of the body as a result of stimulus applied to another, as in referred pain. 3) The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another.
Well I'll be damned, and I really liked that hat. Somebody pass the salt...
