Which word slipped our 'earthly dictionary'? What can we not remember?

Question

This is a reply to a question asked previously by somebody:
If you could have 1 word erased from the dictionary, along with its definition, what word would it be?

Are there any ideas out there about what the word we forgot is, since we can't 'remember' how to stick together and live together like a family on this planet.

Deek L - your answer seems most interesting if thought over :)
Checked the website - good point!

Answer 1

i would say spirit, while its still in the dictionary, i think many have forgotten what it is,,,,, they dont tune into their core,,,, their spirit,,,,,, hence they are influenced by trends and what is currently popular in society
ps: and the first answer, interconnectedness,,, kinda sums it up

look for it. You won't find it anywhere, perfect proof that it slipped the earthly dictionary

By the way, as I explained in my post to the original topic, words like hate and fear can't be erased. This also is not about semantics. This is about erasing the word and its meaning. No one expects nothing to replace the word 'barf', or any other word; the idea of the word is what is at question

Answer 3

Words exist to describe things that are.

To erase a word is not to erase the thing it signifies.

If you erase "red", you still must be able to describe a rose or a sunset or exactly which Hyundai ran over your cat.

Likewise any of the "unpleasant" words.

If we erase "barf" because it's rude, and substitute "vomit" in all cases, within one generation people will find "vomit" to be rude and seek a substitute, and the great circle of life will continue.

Answer 5

I can give a few words that we seem to have forgotten!
Responsibility, Accountability...
A couple of words that we can do without are; Hate and Fear.

Answer 6

Interconnectedness. As in all things, connected as one, to one source creator.

Answer 7

"Be" in all it's forms. No be, is, am, are, was, were, been and being, as well as their contractions. I find it fun and challenging to write in this form. A name does exist for this vocabulary modification: "E-Prime".

Answer 8

Dyslexia...


Why not?
