Stupid words and stupid sayings

Peculiar misunderstandings and, at times, terrible fashions have sneaked into our language, and, in so doing, determine our thoughts without us being really aware of it. The words are simply used, used up, as if they wouldn’t constitute a problem – but, thinking is very much rooted in discourse, and this discourse predominantly takes place in the form of language. This is why we need to think about these stupidities and buzzwords and why they should be published together with short reflections.

Anagrams

Anagrams (originally from Greek ἀναγράφειν anagráphein = rewrite) are words formed by rearranging the letters of a different word. Surprisingly often, anagrams are like a mirror – or distorting mirror – in relation to the source word; sometimes as a paradox, other times as enlightenment. There is obviously something the old and the newly formed words have in common. Anagrams are a source of linguistic imagination, they engender associations and they are simply a great type of game.
