Rare or rair?

Are you making this up? Pulling our leg? Trying to develop a new term for a form of rarity?

There is no such word as "rair" the way you are using it.

I used to get specific on words -- but since nobody else shared those details, it didn't work for communications.

I freaked people out enough calling OSPF "oz-puff", or SGI "soggy".

Then there are those who refer to the EU as "Ew".

 

Last night I grilled my steak rair. Puked my guts out later.

 

Are you a native English speaker? Your posts indicate you have a different language as your primary language.

 

I regret clicking on this thread.

 

I'm left speechless...

Can I have my 5 minutes back?

 

Rair Doesn't mean anything but it stands for:

Great another word for people to use incorrectly!
There Their They're Lose Loose Weather Whether Were Where We're

 

This is a rair thread

 

I think one word is fine. Rare is rare. What you are referring to is the rarity effect due to desirability.

Sometimes things are rare just because nobody wants them.

I have seen many car ads saying "extremely rare color combination!!" And I think "Yes. And that's a good thing."

 

Mental health[edit]
In psychiatry, the term neologism is used to describe the use of words that have meaning only to the person who uses them, independent of their common meaning.[11] This tendency is considered normal in children, but in adults it can be a symptom of psychopathy[12] or a thought disorder (indicative of a psychotic mental illness, such as schizophrenia).[13] People with autism also may create neologisms.[14]

Use of neologisms may also be related to aphasia acquired after brain damage resulting from a stroke or head injury.[15]

Hi Jack,

Is this post your desire to create new slang? (i.e. Max B + 'wavy')

I looked up the term 'rair' in Urban Dictionary and an found esoteric entry in 2015 (had only 6 votes on it which meant it was a 'one and done' personal entry) - and it also didn't match your definition.

Looking at Rap Genius, I have not seen the term used in any lyric, so I doubt it has wide adoption on the bleeding edge streets...

Where did you see this term used?

I think I get what your saying what 'rair' is supposed to mean. Something that becomes 'rare' in the traditional sense because of unpopularity so many of these objects is discarded and create a rarity due to this initial lack of demand.

Case in point: Atari ET.

So, I agree with your premise that it can happen. But I think people here (including me) are confused with the etymology of your term and if you are asking can what you describe happen (yes) and/or if people should start using your word?

 

Someone be drankin'

 

ain't the first time brother...

 

You pay $150 for a steak in motor city.........really. While ducking bullets.

 

And then there is r'aire.

Somehow that one got completely overlooked.

 

Kobe steak maybe?

 

So "rair" is rare?

With an extra space "r are" is arr arr.

RD r are.

 

WTF is this?
