/vocab/

Ask questions about vocab here.

I'm trying to think of a word that means something along the lines of "wrongly accused perception". Askance was the closest word I could find, but that doesn't fit the position in the sentence.

Consider the following sentence:

"Her speech dismissed the perception that her stance on gun laws was influenced by political lobbyists."

Distortion/fabrication/concoction, etc.

concoction?
idiot

As in made up or schemed?

"Her speech dispelled the concocted notion she was under the thumb of the deep-pocked political lobbyists."

Don't be so churlish. At least he responded with suggestions unlike your otiose post.

pocketed*

Whats a word for the general shape of something?

Like, when someone says a woman has an hourglass figure. Is there a more fitting word to describe this shape or figure being to used to compare a person's body to?

"Silhouette" is probably the most common alternative.

Do you think there would be a different foreign word? I could easily see such a word existing in German.

Maybe I'll ask one of the /int/ generals to give me their native tongue's version of silhouette.

Anyway, thanks for reminding me silhouette is used that way, it is a much better word than what I was considering.
