What do you call a phrase that's like an anachronism as in, 'turn off the lights' even though lights don't have knobs anymore they have switches. Like people still call videoing things 'taping' even though most handheld cameras are digital

>anachronism

Therapists are never that sexy in real life. Mine's a fat Indian girl who thinks the DSM-V is the holy gospel. I want to slam it on her head and shit on her uncomfortable fucking couch.

no wonder you're in therapy

>idiot stamps
>garishly dyed hair
>that piercing
is this the kind of girl you're really into?

you don't seem to be interested in girls at all

semblance, analogy, similitude?

>3D girls

yuck

>it gets worse before it gets better

wooooo so deep
good grief why would a nice looking girl like that want such a banal platitude scrawled on her body

malaprops?

that cow nose ring, omg
that's to calm her if she is unruly i suppose

Skueuomorph

poo goes in the loo

I KNOW WHAT IT IS CALLED, BUT I CANNOT RECALL; IT IS A SPECIFIC KIND OF CATACHRESIS THOUGH.

Hang up the phone.

this is correct

NO, IT IS NOT; THAT IS NOT WHAT THE ORIGINAL POSTER MEANS.

no
a skeuomorph is something that is designed to look like something else even though it does not function in that way
an example is the floppy disk icon used for saving files even though nobody actually uses floppy disks any more (well i am sure there are a few weirdos on here that do)
or fake stitching you see on cheap footballs etc when actually it is made from moulded plastic

i think and are closer. op is describing an anachronistic analogy
i am not sure if "turn off the lights" counts because when you do that it does not describe physical turning (unless you have faders/dimmers, i suppose) but you are turning it from light to dark
there is probably a single word for it but i'm bored now so here's a picture of a little poisonous frog

>a fat Indian girl
>thinks the DSM-V is the holy gospel
In this sentence I see two legitimate reasons why you should seek a new therapist
though it may just be my subclinical cyclothymic adjustment personality-ish affective disorder

>perfect lips and feet

Holy shit

you should read delillo

Get the fuck out and try someone else.

What's up cunt? Now resorting to all caps so people can notice you more huh?

>not rewinding DVDs before giving them back to the library

>300 BC + 1716
>library
>not getting your DVDs from Blockbuster
