Maybe @petridishes knows. She has the best words, tremendous words.

when I saw "pests" I was wondering if you were building to an entomological ontological question

Yes!!! You get it.

If they were short questions would you call this an ephemeral entomological ontological question? Or just another malapropism?

if they were as widely applicable as they were brief they might be ecumenical ephemeral entomological ontological questions

As a good episcopalian I should have added ecumenical before you got there, but I fear I've joined a knife fight with a paper clip.

Oh, here: If their meaning is in the eye of the beholder are they equivocal ecumenical ephemeral entomological ontological questions?

if they were also about horses and I could fit equestrian into this list then this would be a query for an equerry

go ahead, PONC, make my day ps i think it's more like semiotics but who cares, you're still the best

Semiotics. Ha! These aren't words, they're seditious little beasts, with their tongues hanging out waiting for you to answer them. ALIVE!

But is what's at stake their name or their nature? The form or quintessence of a PNOC?

Their very existence and its meaning. (Seesh, I had to post this 3 times to overcome autocorrect. What do you call that?)

From my slim understanding of Heidegger I'd second "ontological" since it implies that existence and meaning are the same. Just curious

but wouldn't that require that the word is the Ding an Sich ? i kant even

Apologies, my grasp of kantinental philosophy never was that strong
