Words & Wordplay - November 2006

Does anyone find the "word" Ginormous to just be infuriating? It just annoys the hell out of me and automatically makes me deduct 5 IQ points from the person saying it.

Here is the sentence: "In the process of dusting off the I-formation, the Ravens have increased the role of fullback Ovie Mughelli." Does that mean they are bringing it back or getting rid of it?

I don't know the name of the category that describes both of these. Time orientations? Time settings? What's the name of it?

For example, the word I'm thinking of could fill the blank in this sentence:
Recently where I live we changed ____ from daylight time to standard time.

I am looking for term whose definition would be something like the gap/difference/wait/discontinuity/time lapse/waiting room/moment of uncertainty/etc between a question and its answer.

I am looking for a term that points to this very specific meaning, i.e. NOT something like doubt, hesitation, etc. It has to define the relationship between a question and its answer, that gap (it may be a split second) of thought/time/etc that separates them is what I need.

The term may be literary, slang, academic, etc. I am unaware if such a word exists.

Do you tell someone, "Please turn the air conditioning up." or "Please turn the air conditioning down." when you want the room to be warmer?

"Please turn the air up" can mean 'put the temperature gauge up higher so the air will turn off and the room will become warmer...' or it can mean 'increase the air flow (or increase power to the fan that blows the cold air) so that the room will become colder because more air is being blown out...'

However, "Please turn the air down..." can mean 'decrease the air flow (for a warmer room)...' or it can mean 'turn the temperature down so the air conditioner will turn on (which will make for a colder room)...'

So... which phrase is the correct way to ask someone to adjust the air conditioner to make a room warmer? Which phrase do you use? Have you ever had to clarify what you meant because the person did the opposite of what you wanted?

Just Wondering...
