(uh-nak-ruh-niz-uhm)

From Middle Greek anachronismo, the word Anachronism refers to an event, person, object or custom that is chronologically out of place. It can also be an error in chronology, in which a person, object, event, etc., is assigned a date or period other than the correct one.

Popularized by the Dresden Dolls’ song Girl Anachronism, you probably didn’t know the existence of the word until you heard that song, bitch.

We must make haste as in but three and twenty minutes I must watch my programmes in the telechamber! O joy of joys, at last it appears! It lay betwixt the cushions of the couching seat! No longer must I endure the horror of two and one half men's situational comedies!
