Astro-generalize. My word of the day.

in #astrology7 years ago

Generalize (VERB) : To make a general or broad statement by inferring from specific cases.

Astro-generalize: To make a general or broad statement by inferring from 'traits' & behaviors normally associated with an astrological sign.

This stemmed from a conversation with a coworker as we had our 'water cooler' moment at the end of the day, somehow, we got into astrology and the resident post-meta-physicist now Atheist, described the interesting behaviors of someone we had all encountered earlier by astrological sign. Then made the statement that he didn't want to 'astro-generalize'. The thing was; he was right, though he hadn't know the persons birthday, he'd guessed(?) the persons sign correctly. So currently, he is our new hero.

Sort:  

Sometimes it is off putting when people guess my sign, but I like to take it in stride and smile even bigger at them.
