Catachresis. What a great word! I think I'll call the local television station and tell them they are using a catachresis to describe Ryan and her position on the Good Morning Charleston Show.

I absolutely abhor the use of masculine terms to describe a female job. Ryan is the hostess, not the host of the show.

Catachresis.

The nice Chinese family across the street is converting from Buddhism, but first they must complete catachresis crass.

[MoochPooch]

The mention of Hillary Clinton as a "socialite" rather than "socialist" is to me an even bigger catachresis.

Hi, secret!

Interesting word today.

The Left, having been caught in slapdash political abortions
Are bending and spinning in all sorts of contortions
To shock the Unwashed Masses into Belief

If Mapes' and Rather's "Document" wasn't sad enough
The Plame Fiasco just hasn't generated the grief
Desired to fill the Liberal coffers and precis

"Fake, but accurate!" tops the list of their Catachresis
A sparkling gem amongst flawed Political Theses
Attracting dwindling numbers of those who might buy this stuff!
