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?

Here it goes AGAIN. . in my best CEO speak . .

Given the increased gravitas of current action items, a bold new paradigm shift is required to think outside the box.

Yes, "The Paradine Case." I saw that. I don't recall what his case looked like, though it was probably a leather one.

No paradine, how about a Caradine?

Best not to use big words - concentrate on spelling the small ones correctly. Like "its" in the title. ;>)

Pooh...I knew I had made that mistake as soon as I hit post.

That does not excuse you from being an asshole, however.

Methinks that you're being a tad oversensitive.

< CEO SPEAK >

Given the increased gravitas of Conservababe, I can say with Six Sigma certainty, that a bold new paradigm shift is required to foster team-building processes, think outside the box, leverage our advantages, and empower Rummyfan to make the tough decisions necessary.

"Skid Row" me-thinks,
I believe I heard the word,
(This ain't no jinks),
originated in Seattle.
A road it might,
Have been at night,
But only through the bottom,
of a bottle.
