What can I say? It was in the invisible writing. I shuffled the deck of my small collection of interesting or useful big words (the 75 cent variety) and found those that I thought I could string together into a slightly coherent thought. Holotrope may not be as utilitarian as bricoleur (another one that Amos made much of), but it has its uses. One or two of these words in a scholarly essay, dovetailed precisely into the discussion, but always applied judiciously, can be just enough to take that grade over the top.
