plugging in the fairy dress

About

I had a prof in undergrad who referred to students' "fairy dress" words -- terms picked up in the first throes of learning theory that students wore out in inappropriate places, like a small child with a fairy princess dress that she wants to wear to school.

Now, while I agree that there are terms that get used incorrectly, diluting their meaning, I don't think there's an inappropriate place to use them - poems? sure. Conversation? Absolutely. Likewise, I always wear my fairy dress for everyday.

And the connection between these words? They are all about connection.
