I thought of more.."amiable" and "perspicacity" and "inclination" and....I have a lot of words, I rarely use them, but when I can, I sound really smart!!

Darling? Who have you been talking to?

Mad women. Too many of them. Mad, mad women, everywhere, being mad.

I've resolved that, tonight, I'm going to talk crap all over the forums. Take no notice.

But none of them women I know through CollarMe. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Eh? That's not the word you're after - "Be deliberately ambiguous or unclear in order to mislead or withhold information" [WordWeb.info] Maybe 'equate'?

The common definition of equivocate is accurate, but does not do that magic word justice. An equivocation is being deliberately ambiguous or unclear regarding two similar, but in fact different traits, to mislead people. To interchange "criminal" and "arrested" is an equivocation that suggests all arrested people are guilty.

MMMPH! Good word. I need a smoke.

what's being described now is a "red herring". making an argument by falsely comparing two things that aren't similar. in a larger sense, it's using a spurious example that doesn't really apply to what's being discussed.

Oooh, Karmastic, your mastery of logical fallacies has me all aquiver.
