Redirecting

Rating: 5.0


I was mind-framing a sitting
of the members of the Academy of New Word Invention.

I was presenting the turning of a vase upside-down
and its use as a cloche
to plead the case for 'reversing'.
I threw in that 'verse' is from Latin for 'to turn'.

After expression of doubt -
that 'reverse' is just one direction -
I proferred 'rouletting'.

'Repurposing' won out.

'repurposing' isart world jargon. Might have been started by Duchamp with his Urinal though the word is of later origin.
