a confession from the frontlines of pre-post-post-modernism

I used the word "hegemonic" tonight. And not even ironically.

I feel so dirty.

To mythopoise?

I'm just full of neologisms tonight.

P.S. Of course, we could just take "myth" and convert it directly into a verb form: "he mythed." I mean, it happend to "lunch." But it does sound a little system.

hah. I meant to write "stupid" and I wrote "system." Who has been talking too much RPG theory? Who? Who?

That just might work. Hmm... or how about, "mythicate?" "Mythify?" "Mythologize..." but, wait for it, where's the poeisis? Why can't poeisis get any love?

How about "wax mythopoetic," as in, "Yeah, we were talking about RPGs and Ben started waxing mythopoetic on us again." Ok, I admit it probably isn't general enough to cover "make myths" in general.

How about, "mythtify?" Hm, I guess that would be like to totally rock someone with a myth, as in, "The old man mythtified us with his tale."
