I'm looking for a name of a literary device: it involves talking about something by claiming not to talk about it. For example, "I won't bore you with the details of her public service, how she rescued four kids from a burning building; I won't mention the countless hours she has spent every day pulling weeds in the hot sun." Is there a word for this or have I gone mad?

'recreate' is the verb from which we get "recreation", but we rarely use it in that form do we?

"Hey what are you up to today?"
"this afternoon I'm going to recreate."
"wow that sounds like fun!"

does anyone use the word recreate like this? the form of the word is more commonly used in the context of re-creating something, like a battle scene in a movie re-creates the images and sounds etc.

does it lead to confusion with the word procreate?
