AUTOSCHEDIASTIC means to do something on the spur of the moment; improvised; ex tempore. When i break down this word AUTO/SCHED/IASTIC I can see this meaning. AUTO meaning right now, spur of the moment, SCHED is part of schedule also giving me the hint that it is a random act that deserves no thought (even if schedule has nothing to do with random acts more relating to the time in which something must be done) IASTIC, well, i don't know how this fits the meaning but it is in alot of words in the English dictionary and it generally means the characteristic of. So we get the characteristic of doing something that requires no thought right now while we are in auto mode. That is the way i am going to remember it. I love drama. Drama and Economics are my favourite subjects at school and in drama we do alot of improvisation so we are essentially being AUTOSCHEDIASTIC. Sometimes when i am speaking to people i don't necessarily like i will try make myself sound smarter just to make them look dumb, so i make up a whole lot of .. crap and say it with confidence, when i do this i am being AUTOSCHEDIASTIC, (mind you the people never notice that i don't have a clue what I'm talking about so i am doing a pretty good job don't you recon?). That is all for today, have a good one!
