"Ramsey Case Terminology" Posted by Anton on 21:28:21 5/07/2000 For those of us who are new to this case or have our heads twirling from the spins, I offer this glossary of Ramsey case terminology. (In no particular order; why should this be more organized than the case?) This is a partial list; the full list contains 118,000 terms. Feel free to add your own -- your chances are 118,000:1 of being correct. ramedy: an act of expressing emotion in an effort to draw sympathy towards oneself and thus reduce attention to the problem at hand. Example: "The ramedy for this problem is to cry loudly and scream until the police quit asking terrible questions." ramsody: the blissful state of denial and ignorance which allows one to "go on with life" rather than deal with the pressures of the life one has ruined Example: "Parents who suffer loss may find themselves unable to accept or explain their loss and thus drift into a state of ramsody, in which no proof of guilt and no evidence of conflict is admitted." ramsody in blue: the blissful state of denial and ignorance while in the presence of police officers ostrichize: the act of covering one's head rather than one's butt (e.g., "sticking one's head in the sand"), thus assuring that one's true emotional state is undiscovered and that one will be left alone; this state, however, implicity blinds one to the reality that one may be saving face but revealing what one doesn't want revealed Example: "She knew the public was looking at her, so she covered her head with her jacket, oblivious to the fact that by so doing, her skirt was hiked up and all that had been secret was now revealed." emptythy: a blend of empathy and vanity; feeling for another only through one's own delusions multiple perpsonality: a defensive strategy; when one wishes to divert attention from an actual perpetrator of a crime, one names multiple potential perpetrators, whether or not there is any evidence to support the accusations change range: 1.the range within which one changes one's mind; values are from zero to infinity 2.the range within which one attempts to change another's mind; values are from zero to infinity Example: "Amazingly, their book has an immense change range but little effect on public opinion." emperor's new clothes: a defensive strategy; one insists that what is obvious is not true and that what is obviously not true is true Example: "Her insistance that she put on the same clothes in preparation for a plane trip which she also wore for a Christmas party the previous day amounts, alas, to nothing." John Beercan tracker: a defensive machine used to trace evidence and search for a perpetrator; cuts a wide swath through nothing; operates by fouling other trackers foolsey: (often plural: foolseys) an act of denial; when asked a question one finds disturbing, one acts stupid, dense, foolish Example: "The police were not amused when she played foolseys with them." rope-a-nope: a defensive strategy; when forced to respond to multiple disturbing questions, one first feigns innocence, then denies everything, then attacks the questioner. Example: "I did?" "I did not kill my daughter." "Don't go there, pal." depth of ignorance: a defensive strategy; one feigns ignorance while relying on the ignorance of others Example: "Their book was written for people who know nothing of the case to prove that they, too, know nothing of the case." ramson: the price one pays to retrieve what one lost due to one's own mistakes Example: "They've paid a stiff ramson to their lawyers in an attempt to regain their credibility, which, ironically, they would still have if they had not spent a fortune to their lawyers." knight in whining amour: a defensive strategy; one joins one's partner, feigning innocence "because we only have love". This sometimes consists of shooting "love darts" at one another during public interviews. patsterize: overheating oneself to destroy what hurts stun blocker: a respected expert recruited to support an otherwise unsupportable theory burkenback: multiple backup plans Example: "Their stock of burkenback is impressive - unknown shoeprints, no fingerprints, 'John is a prince', and so forth." southern common incenst: screwing oneself and one's family through stupidity, greed and arrogance, and being angry about it small foreign fiction: an untruth told to confuse an issue; taken individually, it almost makes sense; taken as a group, the lies become evident Nero to zero: 1. appearing confident and in charge but actually being scared and desperate 2. believing oneself to be in full control of a situation but all of one's efforts are delusional 3. a defensive strategy; one exalts a person while that person agrees with one's position but when that person becomes antagonistic or useless, one excoriates the person to every degree possible Easter beater: one who loudly and emotionally begs for a dead body to come back to life, particularly when one would really rather the body remained dead friendselope: one who entices friends into a scheme, then uses coercion to keep them involved and cooperative hernialism: overstraining while writing a document; one's concentration is affected, tending to cause nonsensical writing and/or excessive verbiage misassociation: a situation so complex (or appearing to be so) that the associations of its elements are difficult to ascertain pageanta: 1. the color of a jealous heart 2. over-decoration to the point where the original person or object is difficult to ascertain ramseynary: one who vigorously defends the Ramseys and/or attacks their perceived enemies; can be voluntary or paid; also called mercynary clothestrophobia: the fear (not necessarily irrational) that one's clothes will expose oneself; probably derived from the perception that the clothing puts one in a bind or a too-small enclosure, such as a prison cell aria 51: the latest spin song bouldermite: one who professes to have and appears to have great power (political and/or financial) but in times of stress or duress proves to be impotent; such an individual may still be responsible for a great deal of irritation ramsenjammer: one who uses sensational stories to obfuscate reality benét-haha: 1. treating lightly that which is grotesque 2. having a grotesque truth come to light (Derived from an ancient term which translates literally as "what goes around, comes around") simpsonite: evidence which must be explained away at any cost limebite: the condition of receiving public attention for other than honorable reasons; often leaves a sour taste in one's mouth Example: "Her histrionics and his cold denials have really put them in the limebite." despition: a decision made despite evidence and reasoning which contradicts the wisdom of that decision Example: "We must question the killer's despition to leave both a ransom note and the body at the scene of the crime." hex-file: strange and/or questionable theory concocted to explain evidence or to contradict another theory Mulder and Scully: FBI agents who would focus on solving the Ramsey case but are too busy investigating other alien abductions gone wrong scotty beamer: preferred method of escape for wealthy perpetrator, particularly when one's presence becomes uncomfortable Example: "They may be stalling until they are able to press a comm badge and transport in a scotty beamer." moot suit: a lawsuit designed to prevent a person, publication or other media outlet from presenting the truth, but which results in a greater truth being revealed hir today, John tomorrow: defensive strategy; one spies on one's spies by creating a fake character and attempting to fool the fools who are spying fiber optics: defensive strategy; one points to a bit of evidence, which is obviously one thing, and proclaim it to be something else. Example: "The blue fibers obviously came from some punk pedophile who has blue hair. That's the killer." ALPHABET GOOP S.B.T.C. 1. Santa Bear Takes Charge 2. Some Body Take Charge 3. So Better To Care DUH Don't Understand Hunter FWIW: Here is an interesting real word Middle Dutch *rammelen, to wander about in a state of sexual desire, from rammen, to copulate with.
