Cliterature

alternate definition: 1970's derogatory term for women's literature. Now archaic.

Concept was that writing was either literature or it was not literature, so any attempt to manufacture a subgroup was somehow denigrating the legitimate body of work.

Sprang from growth of Women's Studies programs at US universities.

Sometimes also used to describe Comparative Literature, although usage may have faded into obscurity.

she majored in English and minored in History, then switched to cliterature

Literate

Able to read and write in one's native language. The opposite of 'literate' is 'illiterate'.

You're not smart. You're not even literate!

Literate but Tired

Making minute grammatical errors though being completely literate when running on low doses of sleep.

Oh my gosh--did I just say 'specialer'? So not a word. And I know that....because I am fully literate but tired. At least I know 'a lot' is two words.

dictionary-literate

means of communicating the definition by use of words/phrases like "of or relating to" and "thereof" that give definitions that little kick of genious and sparkle

"This definition on urban dictionary is stupid."
"No, it's not, it sounds like a credible piece of information, what with all those big words and phrases shoved in it in places."
"The writer was obviously dictionary-literate."

eye-literate

How you might feel when you want to use a word in conversation that you're familiar with in reading and writing, you know perfectly well what it means, but you've never heard it spoken, and have no idea how to pronounce it.

"It doesn't matter how many times you click on Font Color. Changing red text to red again won't make a difference. It's eye-dem-... id-em-..." (thinking, "How the *$%^& do you pronounce 'idempotent'??? Guess that makes me eye-literate.")
