Comportmentalize

To mentally find and use ideas that comport to narratives that support one's belief system in order to ease the discomfort of cognitive dissonance when competing ideas are in conflict with each other.

Person 1: "Wow! I'm mentally conflicted here! These competing ideas really are in conflict with each other and I don't know which one to support."

Person 2: "Well, rather than compartmentalize those thoughts, why don't you comportmentalize them and find a narrative that comports with your belief system? That might help with your cognitive dissonance."

Comport

A word that SCAdians use in Royal Court to appear intelligent.

While at Pennsic, I was asked "If I could only select one, which would I chose: Win Crown, get Knighted, or publically being asked what the word 'comport' means." Given my ego's egregious need for perpetual affirmation, the answer is clear. Bring on the question!!!
