ironic idealism

The outer limit of postmodernism. Idealism viewed ironically. Does not cover ironic nihilism which is a form of ironic idealism but falls OUTSIDE of the limits of postmodernism. Consistent with postmodernism's idyllic denialism or its perception of idealism as unreachable or unattainable except through irony.

Hollywood films 1990-2010 contain themes of ironic idealism or idealism viewed ironically.

ideal

That which does not ostensibly exist and is futile to achieve yet without which our lives are utterly devoid of meaning.

Idealists are never truly happy.

Idearie

Scrumptious joyous nugget of creative thought. A dearie of an idea. A creative spark.

Viewing the sunset in its vivid orange glow gave the artist an idearie she had to write down immediately. Idea + Dearie = idearie.

Idea-pong

Bouncing ideas back and forth, brainstorming. "Let's get together and bounce some ideas around" "Sure, it will be like ping-pong with ideas" "You could call it Idea-pong!"

"Hey we have to figure out a way to get Parker to dump Janice so you can date him"
"Oh I know, but I can't seem to think of anything"
"Well how about we play some Idea-Pong this weekend, then we can get some ideas"
