I'm pulling my hair out trying to find a word and it's definition. Help?
Posted on 09/12/2006 5:38:51 PM PDT by Conservababe
I heard this word used verbally in a sentence...it is not part of the "paradine". I have spelled it as I heard it, but have no idea of the spelling or meaning. I have tried to look it up using online dictionaries using different spellings with no luck. 
Can someone help?

    I could, but I would have to have a complete paradigm shift and think outside the box. Sound good? Make me you CEO!
 Sounds good, but.....
 Do you have gravitas?
 You ain't squat unless you got it!

    Could it be 'A Riddle, wrapped in an Anigma, shrouded in a Mystery?' 
 
Nah. It's a Pradigm! :)

    Could you use that word in a parable, please? 
 
To: Conservababe
    Paradigm - can be pronounced para - dim or para - dime.
It means a 'prime example'.

 Here is goes . . in my best CEO speak . .
 Given the increased gravitas of consequences of inaction, a bold new paradigm shift is required to think outside the box.

    Paradigm? Roughly, the standard to which others will be measured. Most often used the new paradigm, say a PC on every desk as opposed to one in the computer room.

    We're not "thinking out of the box," anymore?

    Uh hum, now I see why my husband (separated almost two years) would use that word when I reminded him of his cheating during a divorce talk. LOL
