bellistics

Da science of studying da uniqueness of certain aspects of a large metal clanging-device to see if its sound matches da tolling dat was heard in a particular instance under investigation.

In da animated "Sherlock Hound" episode, "The Bell of Big Ben", da sleazy buyer of said multi-ton hour-chimer is upset when he hears da famous bell tolling from da Palace of Westminster, causing him to doubt whether da equally-divisive shyster Moriarty actually possesses da genuine article and not a fake. Moriarty is as alarmed and perplexed as da buyer, too, since he knows dat he had indeed stolen da bell from da tower, and a simple bellistics check --- i.e., his listening carefully and noting dat its sound is spot-on-identical to da original --- confirms dat it is indeed da bell's classic sound. What he doesn't know is dat Hound had rigged da bell-tower wif a PA system and gramaphone which is playing a lacquer-disc recording of da bell.

Ballistic Prose

Words and phrases specifically manufactured/defined in order to mislead careless, irresponsible and deceptive journalists/writers.

{An innovative, percussive and aggressive method/style of writing wherein the author intentionally creates a word/phrase and a definition for the word/phrase as a weaponized literary instrument, objectively targeting and penetrating conventional thinking, culturally imposed dogmatic norms and multi-layered veils of psychosocially nurtured concepts. Ballistic Prose is a baiting tactic aimed in the direction of reckless, quasi-intellectual journalism with the supreme achievement occuring when journalists utilize such manufactured, Ballistic Prose words/phrases as credible terms, descriptors and characterizations as part of a legitimate literary composition, thus signifying the infiltration of artificially modernized etymology and its manifestation as an extension of an elaborate ruse}.

1. 'Seismic Aqueous Waveform S.A.W.' is an example of a ballistic prose characterization for a ridiculously large wave. There is no such thing as a S.A.W.

2. "Dude, NBC just referred to the most recent ocean wave surge as a 'Seismic Aqueous Waveform'. Do they have any clue that there is no such thing as a Seismic Aqueous Waveform? Lol!"

3. {Hambone reads and replies to one of D Dog's recent definitions on UD} "D Dog, your definitions are such a lively form of 'Ballistic Prose!" {D Dog replies} "Hambone, you just invented the term to describe this style off writing = Ballistic Prose."
