What does "ecelectic" mean?

[madinmaryland]

:wtf:

I just heard * say to Brian Williams that he had read three Shakespeares and they were very "ecelectic"

:wtf:

[HEyHEY]

1. It means he read the comic book set one week.

[Roon]

2. Did he really say that?

I am shocked he was able to pronounce it, let alone know how to use it in a sentence.

[Monk06]

3. To Bush ecelectic means Shakespeare wrote more than one play. Retard.

[bridgit]

4. as always he's trip'n...

over his own tongue :eyes:

[Hissyspit]

7. It's what comes out of the socket on the wall.

[Shakespeare]

8. Must have been on his word-a-day calendar.

Because it is utterly meaningless as he used it. Reminds me of when Ashley Judd was on the Daily Show a couple of years ago and incorrectly used the word "peripatetic" while trying to impress Stewart.

[ForrestGump]

9. It means someone spelled "eclectic" wrong

:D








:hide:





And I say that with love, being a habitual typo-ist (no problem with actual spelling, but abysmal with frequency of typos...I am typing-impaired).

[Redstone]

10. When you yell at a cliff and your voice bounces back?

No, I'm sorry, that's "ECHOlectic."

Redstone

[madinmaryland]

17. LOL...

Though I think Echo-lectic is what happens in *'s brain before he says something stupid like "ecelectic"

[caty]

11. Eclectic means that someone

likes variety in their interests. I like some of all types of music--I have eclectic taste in music, etc.

[oneighty]

19. Variety

flows with warmth and loves and meanings easily contemplated and as in wheat and chafe passing the winnower operated by thoughtful peoples and leaving behinds useless bullshit components as still life stinking on the pages of time.

Whereas eclectic screams loudly cramming untruths into dull receptive brain cells; "No no no it is thusly so and no other thoughts are to be considered."

That was fun. hahahaha

180 (i think)

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

12. I don't think * knows what it means, either.

Insert "Princess Bride" joke here.

[MoseyWalker]

13. Just another bushism

pay no mind. It happens all the time these days.

[many a good man]

14. Its pronounced "ec-a-lectic"

I had to reply the video twice because at first I thought he said "epileptic."

[Catshrink]

15. It's the best of the best of the best.

sayeth J.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. He was expounding on his theory that Shakespeare was, in fact,

Jakob Eckel, a little known Jewish playwrite of the Elizabethan era. * has studied Eckel's known works in great depth, and was noting the similarities in his talk with Brian Williams, saying that they were Eckelectic.

[madinmaryland]

18. Best definition yet!!!

:rofl:

[caty]

20. Where are these words coming from?

Neither eckelectic or ecelectic are in the dictionary. Eclectic is and means "Selecting from various sources and composed of selections from various sources." Eckelectic and ecelectic must be "bush" words.:shrug:

[hedgehog]

21. From the same dictionary as "nucular"

[caty]

22. Ohhhhh...

I guess I need to update my reference books.;( :thumbsup:

[madinmaryland]

23. It was a Bushism that I heard last night.
