BLUE THING #10: LINGOVATION OF THE WEEK. JA!
Dear Friends:
As you may or may not know, a Lingovation is a newly-created, freshly-coined word, often comprised of a hybrid or contraction of several existing words, which comes into being when no other single existing word or word combination (and sometimes not even an entire paragraph!) can precisely express the thought. They are not nonsensical terms, and must indeed be taken very seriously.
SLAPDASHERY – A lingovated noun used to describe a work or project which is produced on a “just-in-time” basis simply to meet a deadline or accelerate a process, without any regard to its quality. Slapdashery is usually the end result of having forgotten about a due date; pathological multi-tasking; a complete lack of interest in the subject matter; or a disregard or disrespect for the person or group for whom the work or project is being rendered. When your boss or supervisor walks into your office (for those traditionally employed) and shouts, “We’ve gotta give the Board a progress report on this project…it’s been six months now, and they’re breathing down my neck,” slapdashery becomes a crucial employment survival skill. In the marriage of big government with big business, slapdashery, just like skewed statistics and “bad science,” is regarded as an essential component in the expedient production of propaganda.
By way of example, a scientific “finding” along the lines of “The BP oil spill no longer poses a threat – most of the oil has evaporated or is dispersed,” is destined to become a lengendary example of fine slapdashery employed by frantic, financially and ethically compromised government propaganda promulgators.
