Related to the link Vic sent to Metaphors We Live By (which I also recommend checking out), I've been thinking about/working with some of the institutional language which continues to crop up. Maybe this will turn into dry, dense posters in the form of diagrams, definitions, etc...good for places people linger or wait around, like by elevators? Just some etymological definitions that help complicate what words mean...

Let me know if you think of any loose terms or come across interesting definitions!

p.s. If you haven't read the "who did this" page for Etymonline you're in for a treat. One of the weirder website stories I've come across...
