ORD ELLIS's definitions

self relient

The act of being able to cover your previous prevarications effectively with new untruths that support the orginal ones in question well enough such that they will no longer be suspect.

Our son has such a great future ahead of him. He is so self relient.

self-advising

'Self-Advising' is the term for doing what you ought not, KNOWING BEFOREHAND that you ought NOT and yet . . . you do it anyway. This is especially true of calling with a known dead hand in poker. Against our own best advice to ourselves and gut instincts (and sometimes even the odds), we do what we know is wrong because . . . well, you know the list of reasons, we all have them and interchange and use them at random.

When am I going to start listening to myself and STOP! listening to myself? That's what I get for self-advising again.
