Origin: Coined by Winston Churchill campaigning in the 1906 election, and repeated by him in the parliament, Freebase(0.00 / 0 votes)Rate this definition: Terminological inexactitude Terminological inexactitude is a phrase introduced in 1906 by British politician Winston Churchill. Today, it is used as a euphemism or circumlocution meaning a lie or untruth. Churchill first used the phrase during the 1906 election. After the election in the House of Commons on 22 February 1906, as Under-Secretary of the Colonial Office, he repeated what he had said during the campaign: The conditions of the transvaal ordinance ... cannot in the opinion of His Majesty's Government be classified as slavery; at least, that word in its full sense could not be applied without a risk of terminological inexactitude.

It seems this first usage was strictly literal, merely a roundabout way of referring to inexact or inaccurate terminology. But it was soon interpreted or taken up as a euphemism for an outright lie. To accuse another member in the House of lying is unparliamentary, so a way of implying that without saying it was very useful. Numerology The numerical value of terminological inexactitude in Chaldean Numerology is: 3 Pythagorean Numerology On Being Economical with the Truth ON BEING ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH All Bible references are to the Anglicised New International Version (NIV-UK) [W]e have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

ï¿½ 2 Corinthians 4: 2-4 ï¿½ ï¿½economical with the truthï¿½ is an expression that describes a careful use of facts so as not to reveal too much information. In common usage, it is generally understood as a euphemism for deceit, whether by volunteering false information ï¿½ that is, lying ï¿½ or by deliberately holding back relevant facts. The modern phrase became popular after it was used by Robert Armstrong, Cabinet Secretary at the time of the Spycatcher trial in 1986. It derived from Edmund Burke, 18th-century British statesman, author and philosopher, who wrote that Falsehood and delusion are allowed in no case whatever: but, as in the exercise of all the virtues, there is an economy of truth. It is a sort of temperance, by which a man speaks truth with measure that he may speak it the longer. Another euphemistic expression was coined by Winston Churchill, British politician and later Prime Minister during the Second World War.

He used the phrase ï¿½terminological inexactitudeï¿½ during the 1906 election campaign, and later as Under-Secretary of the Colonial Office he repeated in the House of Commons what he had said (February 22, 1906): [T]he conditions of the Transvaal Ordinance under which Chinese labour is now being carried on . . . cannot in the opinion of His Majestyï¿½s Government be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude. . . . While the expression may have been literally referring to imprecise or inaccurate terminology, it has been adopted as a euphemism for a lie. To accuse another member in the House of lying is unparliamentory (another euphemism!), so the implication that a ï¿½terminological inexactitudeï¿½ had been expressed was a useful device. Economy of Speech ï¿½ To Deceive It started a long time ago.

When the serpent accosted the woman in the Garden of Eden he was crafty enough to modify what Godï¿½s stated punishment for disobedience would be: ï¿½you will dieï¿½, Satanï¿½s adjustment of the sentence: ï¿½You will not surely dieï¿½, achieved his purpose ï¿½ to deceive the woman and ensnare the man ( Genesis 3: 1-6 ). Jesus put it plainly when denouncing the Jewish teachers of the Law: ï¿½You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your fatherï¿½s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of liesï¿½ (John 8: 44). Adam and Eve quickly learned to be evasive once their guilt had sullied their relationship with God.

And Cain, their firstborn, having murdered his brother, and being asked by the Lord the whereabouts of Abel, retorted, ï¿½Am I my brotherï¿½s keeper?ï¿½ (Genesis 4: 9). Even Abraham, called the friend of God, employed a little subterfuge in representing Sarah to the Canaanite king, Abimelech, as his sister, for a somewhat obscure fear that because of her beauty his own life would be at risk were it known she was his wife. Their genuine blood relationship lent an element of truth to the deception, and by the Lordï¿½s intervention the matter was resolved satisfactorily ( Genesis 20 ). An untruth may be expressed in actions, the tongue being silent. According to Acts 4: 32-37 , the church in Jerusalem, in order to help the poor and needy, was practising a policy by which ï¿½No-one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they hadï¿½. Many wealthy members of the congregation sold their property and gave the proceeds into the charge of the Apostles.

Among these were Ananias and his wife, Sapphira, but unlike the others, they held back some of the proceeds without disclosing the fact. Peter was evidently aware of the deception and accused Ananias of lying to the holy spirit and to God. Hearing the Apostleï¿½s judgement, Ananias fell down and died, as did Sapphira three hours later ( Acts 5: 1-10 ). There may be more behind this strange and sobering account than is recorded, but it is clear that it was not the retention of some of the proceeds of sale that was wrong, but the decision to convey a false impression to the church, or to the Lord, as Peter declared. Economy of Speech ï¿½ To Protect Cautious parents some decades ago were sometimes apt to monitor adult conversation in the presence of youngsters reminding everyone that ï¿½little pigs have big ears'. The principle is sound. Too much information may be harmful to minds not mature enough to assimilate it correctly, and there are many Biblical instances where economy of speech has been employed for the wisest of reasons.

When the disciples asked Jesus why He spoke to the multitude in parables, His answer was quite explicit: ï¿½The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ï¿½though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understandï¿½ï¿½ (Luke 8: 10). But even the most intimate of the Lordï¿½s companions were not ready, during His ministry, to learn the yet deeper truths He wished to impart to them. During the anxious days before His arrest and crucifixion, Jesus talked with them at great length and sought to prepare them for the fierce trial ahead. He knew they understood only imperfectly His meaning, and said ï¿½I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bearï¿½ (John 16: 12). It was not until they had received the baptism of the holy spirit at Pentecost that they were to grasp the deeper truths.

As Jesus had promised, ï¿½the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to youï¿½ (John 14: 26). Being veiled with the truth was no longer necessary. In His great wisdom the Heavenly Father Himself expresses His plans and purposes in such a manner as to confuse His enemies. Many truths are hidden in parables and metaphors, in signs and symbols, in types and allegories, making the Bible almost a closed book to the unworthy. Secretiveness is evidently an element of Godï¿½s character, yet the honest seeker of Divine truth is rewarded, as David declares: ï¿½The LORD confides in those who fear him; he makes his covenant known to themï¿½ (Psalm 25: 14), and Amos 3: 7 assures us that, ï¿½Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.ï¿½ So Where Do We Stand? We have plenty of Biblical guidance, and our heading Scripture from the Apostle Paul says it all.

Yet it is a rocky road to follow, and there are pitfalls all along the way: the evasive answer, the guarded facial expression, the body language, and the ï¿½whiteï¿½ lie. In his epistle James discusses at length the unruliness of the tongue, asserting that if anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check ( James 3: 2 ). But none of us is perfect, and our human frailty is acceptable to our Heavenly Father only through our trust in the merit of Jesus Christ.

Football News Archive BUCKEYE FANS ONLY McKinley's Miller headed to Ohio State October 29, 2009 Source: Canton Repository - "With bookends in place, Jim Tressel has a year and a half to fill the library between them. Ohio State got its second verbal commitment for the class of 2011 ï¿½ another big defensive end ï¿½ and the Buckeyes came to Stark County to get him.

McKinleyï¿½s Steve Miller phoned Tressel on Thursday evening to accept the Buckeyesï¿½ football scholarship. Miller, a junior, is the second commitment for the 2011 recruiting class. The 6-foot-4, 230-pound defensive end joined Toledo Whitmer defensive end Kenny Hayes (6-5, 240) as the only members of the class so far. Miller, an All-Ohioan as a sophomore a season ago with 13 sacks and 116 tackles, chose Ohio State over prominent programs such as Florida, Nebraska, UCLA, Michigan and many others. "Everything is out of the way and thereï¿½s nothing hanging over me," said Miller, whoï¿½s missed the last three games with an ankle injury. "It was time to pull the trigger on it." Ohio State was an easy, if not obvious, choice because Miller grew up a Buckeye fan. "Whoï¿½s kidding who here?

When youï¿½re an Ohio kid and the place you always dreamed of going offers you the opportunity, itï¿½s pretty easy to pull the trigger," McKinley head coach Ron Johnson said..."

Ohio State is the state's premier program, having won 13 national championships and 33 Big Ten championships. It's produced seven Heisman Trophy winners.

But for the first time in recent memory, the Buckeyes face a legit challenger for the title of best in state. Cincinnati has surged under third-year coach Brian Kelly, winning the Big East last season and rising to No. 8 in the BCS standings, nine spots ahead of the Buckeyes, who already have two losses.

Buckeyes OSU's Gibson stays, quarterbacks pay October 29, 2009 Source: Lima News - "Two years ago, Ohio State defensive end Thaddeus Gibson was dissatisfied with his lack of playing time and thinking about transferring. But coach Jim Tressel says he was confident Gibson, now one of OSU's defensive standouts, was a long way from leaving. One hundred fifty-three miles, to be exact. "He didn't have a car. It's a long walk to Euclid," Tressel said at his weekly press conference earlier this week.

Gibson, a 6-foot-2, 240-pound junior from Euclid High School, leads Ohio State with four sacks after being the team leader with five last season. He admits he was thinking about walking away from Ohio State, if not necessarily considering walking the median of I-71 home, after spending his first year at OSU as a redshirt and playing mostly on special teams his second year...Like most recruits, he expected to make an impact right away in college. "Being young and anxious to play, coming from a high school where you were the all-star guy, coming here and not having the opportunity was hard for me," he said. "I look back and think, 'Did I really do that sort of stuff?' Looking back at it, I came so far." Gibson talked to older players, like Curtis Terry and Doug Worthington, and former Buckeyes quarterback Troy Smith, who had to wait their turns to play. They counseled patience and Gibson stayed.

"We tease Thad all the time about how he was sitting on the stairs saying, 'I'm out of here,' and a couple of the older guys put their arm around him and said, 'Yeah, I was on the same stairs and you'll be fine,'" Tressel said..." Troy Smith tells Pryor: Run more October 29, 2009 Source: Columbus Dispatch - "Troy Smith, who won a Heisman Trophy as a pocket passer at Ohio State, might have played a role in persuading Terrelle Pryor to resume running more often. Smith, now with the Baltimore Ravens, said he talked to Pryor earlier this season, when Pryor appeared to be trying to emulate Smith's 2006 senior season but was struggling. "I told him there were certain things he had to get back to, when you were that athletic guy making plays," Smith said. "I told him he had to get back to that mentality." That seems ironic, considering Smith worked hard to evolve from a scrambler to a pocket passer. "I told him that stuff (the passing) would come, he just needed to go back to being the player he is," Smith said.

"From my vantage point, the sky is the limit with him. He has a chance to be a hundred times better than I ever was there." Smith said he exchanges occasional text messages with Pryor, and the two talk by phone every few weeks..."

There never was any mud-slinging, no visible dissension, no public airing of laundry. Not until recently. It would be extreme to describe the family of "Michigan Men" as deeply fractured or dysfunctional these days, nearly two years since Rich Rodriguez, the first "outsider" since 1969, was hired to lead the Wolverines. But unquestionably, there's a disconnect in the family. It's been simmering since the search to replace Lloyd Carr, who retired following the 2007 season after 13 years as head coach.

There was a large number of Michigan Men who wanted former player and assistant and current LSU coach Les Miles to take over, thereby keeping alive the Bo Schembechler lineage -- "disciples" Gary Moeller and Carr followed Schembechler. Now, there's a perception those Miles backers never will be happy with Rodriguez. (Source: Detroit News) Terminalogical Inexactitude: Michigan football coach Rich Rodriguez has twice bragged about his players' academic achievements, once saying that their combined grades were the highest at the school in 25 years and later that the team had the highest grade-point average ever recorded.

The reason: It doesn't compile that information. Rodriguez backtracked this week, saying that advisers "did not make it clear that the number was just an estimate and not an exact calculation."

While most failed to appreciated it at the time, that Ohio State team was incredibly talented. Amazingly, all 11 defensive starters and two nickel-backs were drafted, as were seven offensive starters (not including two-way starter Gamble) and kicker Mike Nugent. I'm no draft expert, but my guess is this Iowa team will wind up producing half that many. Stanzi is an underrated prospect, and the Hawkeyes clearly possess a whole bunch of big-time defensive players (defensive ends Adrian Clayborn and Broderick Binns, safety Tyler Sash, linebackers Pat Angerer and A.J. Edds, cornerback Amari Spievey), but they don't have any elite skill players on the level of Maurice Clarett (pre-meltdown) or Jenkins, especially now that leading rusher Adam Robinson is out for the season. Which brings me to the most important element of all: The Big Ten of 2009 is not the Big Ten of 2002.

Ohio State went 8-0 in a conference that was arguably the toughest in the country that season. Four teams (OSU, Iowa, Michigan and Penn State) finished the regular season in the top 12.

Ohio State is nearly a 40-point favorite, to which Tressel quipped, "We haven't got 40 points very often," and he's right -- Ohio State has reached only 38 (twice). New Mexico State is 120th and last in the nation in total offense and 119th in scoring offense, averaging 13.3 points. The Aggies' best output has been 21 points, in a 21-18 win over Prairie View A&M...cornerback Chimdi Chekwa said, "We don't want to come out of this game feeling like we didn't do as good of a job as we should have, so we're going to focus on this game and make sure we do well and get better."

There is no scripted time for backups to come in, like in the opener against Navy, when Tressel planned for quarterback Joe Bauserman to direct the third series. "No, this is game nine. We've got to progress," Tressel said. "Now that doesn't mean Joe won't play but I'm not sitting here today saying, 'You know what, I think we'll put this guy in or that guy in.'

Bauserman, a former minor-league baseball pitcher, was unavailable for comment. "It was a conversation just about where we were going as a team and as an offense," Siciliano said.

Take it up with the House. They're the ones with it in their rulebook.

It works in Great Britain. I mean if the statists want to emulate British health care why not British Parliament? And, have you been to a high school sporting event lately? They are far worse than Wilson saying, "You Lie!!!" He that lives upon HOPE will die fasting.

And, have you been to a high school sporting event lately? They are far worse than Wilson saying, "You Lie!!!" The Prime Minister is chosen by the Parliament -- not the people. The House general code of conduct requires that "a lawmaker shall conduct himself at all times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House of Representatives." These are the standards members are held to when they take the oath of office. Despite the request of leadership of both parties, Rep. Wilson has refused to apologize on the House Floor, as is considered traditional, when a Member breaches House rules. Therefore, the House is compelled to respond.

They are far worse than Wilson saying, "You Lie!!!" The British government still heckles based on precedent and procedure, not to make themselves a political sideshow. And I'm aware of the sporting events, and town halls, and all the other places parents act like... So if you're worried about the condition our current government is in but not worried about the example we are setting for kids then wait until you see what those spoiled group of entitlement monkeys do when they are running the country. They'll do nothing more and nothing less than what we taught them- through our words and actions- to do. Sacrifice nothing- demand everything. Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

And, some are tired of those who defend the "entitlement monkeys". I was using entitlement to mean those who believe that life should be fair, they somehow "deserve" something based simply on the fact that they exist, and have no sense of sacrifice because in America everyone is fat, happy, and blissfully ignorant. That and if the ref makes the wrong call your dads can get together and beat him up. Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

"Smart people worry when the day is done, while nincompoops have all the fun." -Yogi Yorgesson Posted 15 September 2009 - 03:57 PM What Wilson should have said... "Terminological inexactitude is a phrase introduced in 1906 by British politician (later Prime Minister) Winston Churchill. Today, it is used as a euphemism or circumlocution meaning a lie or untruth. Churchill first used the phrase during the 1906 election. After the election in the House of Commons on 22 February 1906, as Under-Secretary of the Colonial Office, he repeated what he had said during the campaign, The conditions of the Transvaal ordinance… cannot in the opinion of His Majesty's Government be classified as slavery in the extreme acceptance of the word without some risk of terminological inexactitude. It seems this first usage was strictly literal, merely a roundabout way of referring to inexact or inaccurate terminology. But it was soon interpreted or taken up as a euphemism for an outright lie.

To accuse another member in the House of lying is unparliamentary, so a way of implying that without saying it was very useful. - Wikipedia 27,214 posts Posted 15 September 2009 - 04:03 PM I was using entitlement to mean those who believe that life should be fair, they somehow "deserve" something based simply on the fact that they exist, and have no sense of sacrifice because in America everyone is fat, happy, and blissfully ignorant. That and if the ref makes the wrong call your dads can get together and beat him up. Me too. I was taught life is unfair. Bust your ***, make the right decisions and life gets "more fair". Bad things also happen to good people. It sucks but it's life. The government isn't there to form a Utopian society. It should be there to protect us from foreign enemies and creating an environment for success and then get out of the way. He that lives upon HOPE will die fasting.

-- Ben Franklin Ted Cruz blows up Senate floor: Calls Mitch McConnell a liar Ted Cruz blows up Senate floor: Calls Mitch McConnell a liar Friday Jul 24, 2015 · 8:11 AM PDT 2015/07/24 · 08:11 99 Majority Leader Mitch McConnell apparently figured he could appease Sen. Ted Cruz and get a highway bill passed with an amendment to reopen the Export-Import Bank if he put yet another Obamacare repeal amendment on the bill. He thought wrong. Cruz blew a gasket on the Senate floor, and focused his entire assault on McConnell, going where senators just don't go. He called McConnell a liar, saying that in private talks the majority leader assured him that there was no deal with Democrats to bring back the Ex-Im Bank. "The majority leader was visibility [sic] angry with me that I would ask him such a question," Cruz said. "The majority looked at me and said 'there is no deal, there is no deal, there is no deal." The Texas Republican said that his staff at the time told him that McConnell is "lying to you," but Cruz suggested that he took the Republican leader at his word.

"What I told my staff that afternoon, I said, well I don't know if that's the case or not. But I don't see how when the majority leader looks me in the eyes and makes an explicit promise," he added. "I don't see how I cannot take him at his word." […] "Well, we now know that when the majority leader looks us in the eyes and makes an explicit commitment that he is willing to say thing that he knows are false," the Texas Republican added, arguing it could have ramifications down the road. Cruz said that McConnell had failed in his leadership, that with Republicans in the majority they had "rammed through" confirmation of Attorney General Loretta Lynch and funded Obamacare. He even said that McConnell was just as bad as Democratic Leader Harry Reid, because he used the procedural tactic of "filling the tree"—using the majority leader's privilege to block all amendments except his own—on this bill, something Republicans had repeatedly blasted Reid for when he led the Senate. And in a remarkable admission, agreed with Reid that "the Obamacare amendment is a cynical amendment. Of course it is. It is empty showmanship." So far, McConnell's office has no comment .

The Senate will come back on Sunday for votes on these amendments. It's safe to say Cruz will take that opportunity to make some more headlines. He's got to do something to out-Trump Trump. The video of the entire rant is below.
