^ I'm not seeing anything.

Changed it to a link.

that kid makes me want to commit murder.

You have to admit, a lot of things make you want to commit murder, including Paracusia.

I don't normally post political stuff here, but this hit pretty high on the WTF meter. Lisa Murkowski won her write-in candidacy for the US Senate in Alaska, beating Tea Party favorite Joe Miller and...

this dude:

That's Scott McAdams, the Democratic candidate, who didn't have a snowball's chance in Waziristan.

I dunno who made the above demotivator, but they were clearly referencing this one:

I wanted to murder all involved with the hardstyle video too, and I don't give a fuck about Paracusia, whatever/wherever that is.

[Grahame]

people using words i have to look up makes me want to commit murder.

I don't know. It seems a perfectly cromulent word to me. May I offer you my contrafibularity?

I ran across the word "Paracusia" yesterday, when I tried to look up the word for "things you hear in recordings that aren't really there". Paracusia is auditory hallucinations -- but that's not exactly what I wanted. I wanted those things on like Black Sabbath albums when you think you hear your name being called from the next room ...but you only hear it when you're listening to that spot on that Black Sabbath album. Your mind interprets a combination of harmonics with your name being called, sort of like interpolation (or is it extrapolation?). The aural equivalent of phosphenes (and to prevent Jacob from going into a murderous rage, phosphenes are those fireworks-like lights you see when you rub your closed eyes, because you're stimulating your optic nerve with nearby pressure).

So if anyone knows the word for that, I wouldn't mind knowing what it is, my google-fu failed me.

I thought the hardstyle thing was kind of cool along with funny, must be an age thing.

Nothing for it then but to invent the word ourselves.

I submit: Audiophantiliquism.

OMG, that's the video with the most cute ever. You think it's like a whole pile of cute, but you take away some of the cute, and what is there? MOAR CUTE!

OK Iceman!

I'd say paracusia is more of abnormal auditory perception -different than just hypoacusia- than just hallucinations. You have Willis paracusia, which consists in hearing better in a noisy environment (like a train or bar) than in a quiet one, Weber paracusia, which is not hearing well when you're chewing and your voice resonates excessively, and a few more which I can't recall right now.
