> So when people come up with labels like 'schizopost' or 'word salad' "word salad" is not a label made up by dumb people, it's generally a alternate term for schizophasia. It's also a very old term. Whether dumb people repurposed it or not is another question. Speaking from personal experience, word salad is generally not controllable and not a pleasant thing that you would "want" to use to express yourself, you generally want to stop and regain control of yourself but simply can't or have already given up hope of regaining control over your speech patterns. It's generally not very pleasant and despair inducing, and you get very lost and fall into a, well, kafka-esque nightmare (/me looks at my name). https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/schizophrenia... > Disorganized thinking (speech). Disorganized thinking is inferred from disorganized speech. Effective communication can be impaired, and answers to questions may be partially or completely unrelated. Rarely, speech may include putting together meaningless words that can't be understood, sometimes known as word salad. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2950318/ > In very severe cases, positive thought disorder manifests as unintelligible speech in which neither the individual words nor the sentences being strung together seem to correspond to any discernable overall meaning – ‘word salad’ or schizophasia, e.g. “Oh, it [life in a hospital] was superb, you know, the trains broke, and the pond fell in the front doorway” (McKenna & Oh 2005), or “They’re destroying too many cattle and oil just to make soap. If we need soap when you can jump into a pool of water, and then when you go to buy your gasoline, my folks always thought they should, get pop but the best thing to get, is motor oil, and, money. May may as well go there and, trade in some, pop caps and, uh, tires, and tractors to grup, car garages, so they can pull cars away from wrecks, is what I believe in. So I didn’t go there to get no more pop when my folks said it. I just went there to get a ice-cream cone, and some pop, in cans, or we can go over there to get a cigarette” (Andreasen 1986). |
