Anne Carson:

God Stiff

God gave an onomatopoeic quality to women's language.
These eternally blundering sounds eternally
blundering down

into the real words of what they are
like feet dropped into bone shoes.
"Treachery" (she notices) sounds just like His zipper going down.

Maybe I should explain my reasoning when I say 'seems to define itself'.

Let's take >>7990244 for example

What is the definition of voluptuous?

"of, relating to, or characterized by luxury or sensual pleasure"

Synonyms include: self indulgent, hedonistic, luxurious

How then does this word define itself? It is a word of excess, 4 syllables that require a great variation in mouth movement including a pursing of the lips. Inherently, this word is the embodiment of its defeniton, it is excess, elegance and non gutteral in tone.

Another word I am fond of is faggot, as in, tell me a word you like you fucking faggot.

voluptuous also is made of smooth round vowel sounds, sounds almost like the curves of a woman's body

faggot sounds like being beaten, the swish and bouncing double-crack of a branch striking someone's back

>seems to define itself
You do realize language is a social construct and words "seem" to define themselves because we know what they mean.
