Contravore

A person possessing a tendency to prepare holiday food dishes that run against the accepted wisdom of what is expected (particularly Thanksgiving and Christmas).

Friend: So, you're gonna cook for Thanksgiving?

Me: Nope, no turkey. Got a chicken in the oven.

Friend: Like a true contravore. Am I invited?

contracord/contracorded

Contracord is defined as the phenomena, notion, concept, or/and item whereby one perceives an inability to (simply) explain the difference(s) or relationship(s) (existing) between two or more items, concepts, notions, ideas, and/or phenomena, despite understanding them in isolation from one another and having sufficient/satisfactory (perceivable) distinctiveness in an of themselves.

Unrelated notions result in contracord. Too closely linked notions can result in contracord. Contracord is context sensitive. Contracord is also not context sensitive. Contracord captures a new conceptualisation of linguistic ambiguity and functions as a language model fibre to address communication and/ or conceptual entropy. Contracord is a logic aid, but also a logic dissolver device. Contracord is found in the term, where it is difficult to explain the difference between what contracord means and what it does not mean. It is both flexible and adaptive, paradoxical and logical, conventional and postmodern, a zoom in and an abstraction, a thing in and of itself or that bridges other things. Contracord is a word, but it is even moreso, a framework for building better conceptual abstractions and providing a medium for explication of obscure notions. Contracord helps us understand the subjectivity of language and make the most out of it, by using that subjective backbone in supporting our unique worldviews out in the open.
