Logical positivism and half-smoked pipes


There's a word for it

And words don't mean a thing

There's name for it

And names make all the difference in the world


I found out that my "filthy habit" of leaving a pipe half-smoked overnight only to light it up and finish it in the next morning isn't such a filthy habit after all. It even has a name: Delayed Gratification Technique (or DGT).

Check it out y'all, I'm pretty sure someone has come up with names for a few more of my habits ... er, I won't give any examples 'til I find the names (they really DO make all the difference)...
